Official Book to Commemorate Menicon’s 70th Anniversary

Kyoichi Tanaka, the founder of Menicon, developed the first commercialized corneal contact lenses in Japan. The young man who had never even seen contact lenses, though that “I have two eyes, so I don’t have to worry about losing one of them”, and by testing prototypes in his own eyes, crafted his first wearable corneal contact lenses. His notion of the concept of “Monozukuri” (“manufacturing”) is to “observe by oneself, start creating your own point of view, and coming up with your own original ideas”. This is a high-quality business research book is full of fascinating insights into Menicon, a company that has fully embraced this concept.
