Logo

NIDEK Logo

This logo was designed in the motif of an eye to realize our dreams since the establishment. The NIDEK blue is the color of ocean meaning the global market. In 1971, NIDEK had only seven members, but had a strong passion to produce world-class products from Gamagori, Japan. Imagine the courage it took to sail in the global market with seven young members. This logo has expressions this type of enthusiasm from the inception of NIDEK.

Business Domain

Business Domain: Eye & Health Care

NIDEK expanded its business domain to “Eye & Health Care” on our 25th anniversary in 1996. “Eye” also means “take a look” and “learn about” in Chinese characters.

The new business domain represents NIDEK’s dreams to contribute to human health, extend average life expectancy and provide a healthy and comfortable life.
