“1DAY Menicon PremiO”
meets new needs with expanded power range specification

Menicon Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: 21-19, Aoi 3, Naka-ku, Nagoya, Japan; President and COO: Koji Kawaura) will launch the “1DAY Menicon PremiO,” a daily disposable contact lens with a newly expanded power range specification to make it available to more customers at its stores nationwide sequentially from October 10, 2024 (Thu).

 

In recent years, the market of daily disposable contact lenses in Japan has experienced an increasing demand, with varied market needs, and it showed 13.7% year-on-year growth in 2023 (based on sales amounts).* To meet this growing demand, Menicon expanded the power range specification of the 1DAY Menicon PremiO by adding +6.00D to +0.25D (0.25D steps) and -10.50D to -13.00D (0.50D steps) to its previous specification of -0.25D to -10.00D. This would enable patients with hyperopia and high myopia to use the product, thus making it possible for Menicon to provide support in improving the vision of a wider range of customers.

 

Menicon will continue to innovate in producing new vision of Miru through its products that would satisfy the lifestyle and needs of each customer.

This product employs the “SMART TOUCH” specification, which allows users to remove the lens from the case in a clean and easy manner without touching the inner lens surface. Using the silicone hydrogel material to achieve both high oxygen permeability and wearing comfort, this daily disposable contact lens has been used by many customers since its release in the Japanese market in 2016.
