Menicon Sponsor

How is Menicon Company connected to this extraordinary event?

Menicon will sponsor Kaoru Ogisawa (referred to as Ogi). Ogi will wear our Menicon PremiO contact lenses in this newest challenge of his life. Ogi was one of only five people who finished X-Alps 2007.

Ogi’s wearing of Menicon PremiO will demonstrate the benefits of this new generation of 2-week replacement soft contact lenses, ideal for X-treme Sports like paragliding, windsurfing, mountain biking, climbing, snowboarding…

His first experience with the lenses shows great promise for these lenses as we can see in the interview.

Menicon Company will further sponsor Ogi and his team by supplying transportation and logistic support.
