Menicon Co., Ltd. announces the launch of **Menicon PremiO**, the company's new advanced silicone hydrogel contact lens. Since the world's first silicone hydrogel contact lens material patent was granted to Menicon in 1979, the company's R&D has carried out extensive work to develop possibly the world's best silicone hydrogel contact lens: Menicon PremiO with **MeniSilk**™ & **Nanogloss**™ technology.

The lens features a well balanced combination of oxygen permeability (129 x 10-9 mLO2sec-1 mL-1mmHg -1) and water content (40%). The **MeniSilk**™ &**Nanogloss**™ technology ensures highly controlled smooth surface reproducibility together with excellent wettability and remarkable moisture.

Menicon obtained CE mark on the new **Menicon PremiO** lens for daily wear and up to seven days extended wear on a 2 weeks replacement schedule.

The world's official launch of **Menicon PremiO** will take place on 1 June 2007 in Manchester, UK, coinciding with the British Contact Lens Association Conference.
