People say that much of the information human beings obtain comes from the eyes. It is not too much to say not only information like letters or images, also family smile and even the hope for tomorrow are taken from the eyes. Therefore, we believe that eyesight and quality of vision are of importance. On the other hand, a number of recent epidemiological studies have estimated that approximately 50% of the world s population will be myopic by 2050. Increase of myopia will accelerate the prevalence of retinal detachment and glaucoma. Moreover, high myopia may cause a variety of eye disorders resulting in an increase in people with visual impairment. As it is often said, controlling the myopia in the young population is important to prevent such a result. In addition, with the advent of aging society, eye diseases including cataract, glaucoma, age-related diseases, and those caused by lifestyle disease such as diabetes are rapidly increasing. Maintaining the quality of life of the elderly is becoming a social issue towards the aging society. Thus, not to mention, what is important is to make sure everyone regardless of age and gender is aware of eye examination as well as early dianosis and treatment by ophthalmologists. With a central focus on funduscopes to support ophthalmic diagnosis and treatment, Neitz has been providing a variety of products to meet the needs of ophthalmology until today. Neitz will develop the technology cultivated in the field of ophthalmology to be a company that will contribute to various medical fields for the days to come in addition to the ophthalmology. We at Neitz will continue to listen to the healthcare professionals in order to meet social issues and worldwide needs. And Neitz will create the new value of “Made in Japan” and “Made by Neitz” so that healthcare professionals can show the best performance.
