“Exploring the secrets and mechanisms of nature in order to contribute to people’s health”*

Santen specializes in ophthalmology.

Our CORE PRINCIPLE, “Tenki ni sanyo suru,” means “Exploring the secrets and mechanisms of nature in order to contribute to people’s health.” It is also the source of our company name. The CORE PRINCIPLE is Santen’s DNA, and a constant reminder that we exist to serve our patients and humanity.

We will continue to refine Santen’s unique expertise and organizational capabilities by concentrating our efforts in areas where we can demonstrate our strengths, centered on ophthalmology.

*Santen’s original interpretation of a passage from the Zhongyong (The Doctrine of the Mean) by Confucius.

As a specialized company dedicated to eye health, Santen aspires to contribute to the realization of “Happiness with Vision” by providing valuable products and services to patients, consumers, and medical professionals around the world.

It is our duty to explore and provide novel and significant value in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of eye diseases, and to continue to provide new value to patients and society through products and services created from our expertise in the ophthalmology field and from the patient's perspective.

To create a future in which as many patients and consumers as possible can lead happy and fulfilling lives, we will continue to contribute to the realization of better eye care by providing solutions that eliminate bottlenecks in the diagnosis and treatment of eye diseases, thereby transforming the treatment flow.
