Announced details
Prevention of the onset and progression of myopia in children; elucidation of the mechanisms underlying myopia
Data from a total of 100 people were analyzed. Longer time spent outdoors was significantly associated with changes toward increased choroidal thickness between the optic disc and the macula.
We conducted joint research with the Department of Ophthalmology, Keio University School of Medicine. The research was conducted through an endowed research chair established with a donation from our partner company.
The Department of Ophthalmology, Keio University School of Medicine, was the research institution. Professor Kazuno Negishi (根岸一乃) and Senior Lecturer Hidenari Torii (鳥居秀成), among others, participated in the research. Our partner company was a donor to the endowed research chair, but its name and attributes have not been disclosed.
No information was provided on the impact on business performance.
The company does not address Contract Value / Offering price.
Scientific Reports, DOI: https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-026-65334-6. Forecasts for 2020 and 2050 are provided for myopia prevalence figures, but the name of the research institution has not been disclosed.
