This initiative involves using a portion of sales to engage in social contribution activities.

Cataracts are the leading cause of blindness worldwide.

Cataracts are a disease in which the lens of the eye, which acts as the eye's lens, becomes cloudy, leading to decreased vision.In Japan, surgical treatment has advanced, and the rate of blindness due to cataracts has become very low.

However, globally, in developing countries,many people lose their sight due to cataracts not only because of poverty, but also because of environmental problems such as a shortage of doctors, hospitals and equipment, and because they cannot receive treatment due to low surgical skills.

Bringing light back into the eyes of people with cataracts.

Rohto Pharmaceutical has previously provided support in various Asian countries, including free eye examinations and treatments, free provision of intraocular lenses for cataract treatment,and training of local ophthalmologists, but these efforts have been limited.

With the desire to expand this activity and extend a helping hand to more people on the brink of blindness, we reached out to our business partners, and despite this being ourninth year of support activities, we were delighted to receive support from as many as 10 companies who agreed to become "social partners" and collaboratewith us on these activities.

As members of the healthcare industry, we take pride and a sense of mission in this support activity, and we will continue to carry it out on an ongoing basis.
