What tella does

tella (視力矯正マップ, literally 'Vision Correction Map') operates tella.jp, a Japanese content aggregation and comparison platform that publishes city-by-city and region-by-region guides to ICL (Implantable Collamer Lens) and LASIK vision correction clinics across Japan. Coverage spans Tokyo, Osaka, Nagoya, Fukuoka, Sapporo, Hiroshima, Kyoto, Kagoshima, Okazaki, Tachikawa, and other markets, with structured editorial content on clinic pricing (where per-clinic differences often range 100,000-200,000 yen), doctor qualifications including ICL certifications and instructor credentials, warranty periods and aftercare terms, and patient testimonials. The platform's underlying technology is a WordPress-based content site (per /wp-content/ asset paths in URLs) with no proprietary software, APIs, mobile applications, or data products disclosed; the value proposition rests on editorial curation, clinic vetting, and SEO-driven discoverability for high-intent regional queries such as '東京のICLおすすめ' and '名古屋のレーシック'.

The business operates as an affiliate marketing intermediary rather than a healthcare provider. tella earns commission when users click tracked redirect links (e.g., t.afi-b.com URLs with unique affiliate IDs) to partner clinics such as 品川近視クリニック and 先進会眼科, and subsequently book consultations or procedures; the site is positioned as a free comparison resource for end consumers, and all pricing displayed refers to clinic procedure fees. The legal operating entity is 視力回復マップ編集部 ('Vision Recovery Map Editorial Department'), disclosed as the operator on the site's 運営者情報 page, with no parent company, ownership structure, management team, institutional backers, or partnerships disclosed in public sources. Distribution relies on organic SEO and direct traffic, augmented by social sharing buttons covering Twitter, Facebook, LINE, Hatena Bookmark, and Pocket.

No mobile application, proprietary technology stack, AI/ML capabilities, regulatory certifications, intellectual property, awards, named customers, M&A activity, funding events, or hiring data are disclosed for the current operation. Content is refreshed periodically, with multiple new city-specific comparison articles published in May-June 2026, indicating active editorial operations and a continued strategy of regional SEO coverage expansion.

Broad incumbents

• EPARK: Major Japanese medical appointment and clinic search platform across multiple specialties. Comparable as a patient-acquisition channel for clinics but operates at much broader scope than tella's vision-correction focus.
• RealSelf: US elective-procedure comparison platform covering cosmetic and vision procedures. Comparable content-plus-affiliate model targeting patients researching self-pay aesthetic and vision surgeries.

Direct peers

• Caloo: Japanese clinic and hospital search platform with doctor profiles, patient reviews, and appointment routing. Comparable business model — patient matching to medical providers — though broader in specialty coverage.
• クリンタル (Clinital): Japanese medical comparison and information site focused on elective procedures. Closely comparable affiliate-led content model targeting patients researching self-pay treatments.
• 美容医療ドットコム: Japanese cosmetic medical comparison and clinic-matching platform. Same comparison-site business model applied to cosmetic surgery/dermatology, with regional coverage and affiliate-style patient routing.
• AGAヘアクリニック比較.com / 薄毛治療ラボ: Japanese hair-loss treatment (AGA) clinic comparison sites. Same affiliate-driven model comparing self-pay clinics across regions, with city-level SEO content and clinic-partner referrals.
• 矯正歯科ネット: Japanese orthodontic and dental clinic search/comparison platform with regional coverage. Comparable structure of city-by-city clinic listings with affiliate-style clinic introductions.
