Product launch background
According to a July 2022 survey by the "Modern People's Corneal Care Research Lab *1," eye-related problems among children are becoming increasingly serious. Approximately 70% of adults and 40% of children reported feeling eye strain at least once a week. On the other hand, in households where parents do not provide eye care, approximately 90% of children do not receive eye care themselves.

Eye strain and other eye problems can significantly disrupt academic performance and daily life, so we believe early detection and care are crucial. This time, we've launched eye drops in collaboration with "Myakumyaku," the official character of the Osaka-Kansai Expo, with the hope of encouraging our customers to be more mindful of eye care.
Product features
We collaborated with the official Expo character "Myakumyaku" to create a friendly design. We aim to make using eye drops fun and encourage people to take an interest in eye care.
