- Hearts (ripples) resonate with one another and spread while forming big and small waves -
This package design concept expresses our cordial wish for people to feel the MELS Plan closer.
MELS Plan is a subscription system to provide contact lenses at a monthly flat rate. The service users can use contact lenses according to changes in visual acuity and lifestyle without worry. More than 20 years after its launch, the service is currently used and highly evaluated by 1.35 million users.

Menicon will continue to propose a new vision of “Miru” through the provision of products and services that meet the individual lifestyles and needs of customers.
1. Product Features
(1) Menicon’s two unique technologies
I. Stress-free oxygen transmission achieved by O2 CHARGE technology
Active molecular movement enables sufficient oxygen supply to the inside of the contact lens and cornea. This achieved approximately a five times higher oxygen transmission rate than the conventional lens.
II. Stress-free moisturization achieved by KEEP AQUA technology
The lens has high moisture absorption and retention performance. It absorbs and firmly retains moisture to keep the eyes moisturized for one day long.
(2) Surface treatment to keep moisturizing sensation
The lens surface treatment conditions were improved to enhance wettability. This enabled moisture to penetrate the lens more easily.
(3) Stain-resistant surface treatment
The lens surface is treated to be stain-resistant..jpg?width=1442&height=522&name=6MelsMe%20%E8%A1%A8%E9%9D%A2%E5%87%A6%E7%90%86%E3%83%87%E3%83%BC%E3%82%BF(%E7%94%BB%E5%83%8F).jpg)
