In the past or two years, when more and more friends travel to Japan, they will choose fast-pick-up optical shops to match glasses. There are many brands from the recently popular JINS to ALOOK, COOLENS, ZOFF and so on. I am not sure if I am suitable. Wearing glasses in Japan, I take JINS as an example to help you compare the differences in glasses matching between Taiwan and Japan, so that you can easily decide whether to add this requirement to your itinerary. After reading it, you find it practical. Welcome to like and share.
Japan's experience and advice on matching glasses
My connection with glasses began in the third grade of elementary school. From pseudo-myopia, near-distance parallax, astigmatism, the degree was maintained at one to two hundred degrees, and the astigmatism was so heavy that I couldn’t do without glasses. It was also because of dry eye syndrome (I jokingly call office workers) Prone to occupational injuries) Cannot wear contact lenses.Due to the increase or decrease in the degree, I will last for one to two years to replace a new pair of glasses. I am not a loyal customer. I go all the way from young people glasses to treasure island, Kobayashi, independent optical shops, and even buy cheap brand "frames" to buy glasses. Then go to the spectacles store to match the lenses.
Until recently, I saw a few friends who came to Japan to wear glasses, and also introduced the store service and process in detail. It happened that the original glasses degree started to make me a little uncomfortable, so I took advantage of the Tokyo line to try the service and the comfort of glasses in a Japanese optical shop. degree.As mentioned above, everyone has written very detailed experience of wearing glasses in person. This time Anya will provide a few suggestions to let you know whether it is suitable to go to Japan to wear glasses.
No.1 The display of eyeglasses in Taiwan and Japanese eyewear stores is very different from that of eyewear brands
At present, a chain brand or independent storefront of Taiwanese optical shops, after walking in, you will find that there are about 60% international high-quality glasses frames, 20% cheap fashion, and 20% cheap. The brand is not high. The in-store sales staff will accompany you to consult the needs, mainly First, determine the specs of the frames from your own pocket budget. Because some products are expensive, they will be removed by the store staff and let us try to wear them.Earlier in pursuit of fashion, we have equipped with a pair of highly recognizable frames with prices ranging from 3,500 to 6,000. In recent years, my husband and I have begun to strive for the comfort of wearing glasses, paying attention to the elastic temples, frames, weight, etc. Everyone has also been equipped with a pair of frames with a price of about 7 and 8,000.
On the third day of the Tokyo delegation, we came to Odaiba Diver City Tokyo Plaza. The JINS counter on the fifth floor is an open counter. More than 400 flat frames and sunglasses are displayed on-site. Each area will be marked with product characteristics or store manager’s recommendation. Customers are free to choose and wear. JINS itself is its own brand. The frame design is based on "functionality." There are sports-specific, self-developed lightweight air frames, children-only, and even spectacle frames that fight pollen. Therefore, JINS frames are relatively simple and not fancy.In order to facilitate customers to choose only four 4,900, 5,900, 7,900, 9,900 frame prices (without tax, including flat lenses), the affordable and people-friendly route has attracted more young people and foreign tourists in the store.
Check Point
Those who value brand recognition and the popularity of frames are recommended to wear glasses in Taiwan.
People who value their products with high CP and don't like to be disturbed by shoppers are recommended to wear glasses in Japan.

(The frames she wears are black and silver. I think they look good, so I chose hers)
No.2 Taiwan and Japan optical shops are as careful in optometry, and JINS flat glasses can be picked up in 30 minutes.
Taiwan optical shops are equipped with optometrists and guests to conduct a complete refraction process, test the eyesight of the left and right eyes respectively, and use red, green, and black stripes to determine whether the lens correction is correct, so these measurement ranges are covered: myopia (or hyperopia) degree, astigmatism degree, astigmatism For the axis, the distance between the pupils of the two eyes, etc., there must be a mechanical frame inlaid with lenses, allowing you to walk around in the store to test whether your eyes feel comfortable with the lens after correction.Because of the high parallax between my eyes and I don’t wear glasses often, I wear them when I need to look far away when I ride a bicycle or go shopping. The original prescription Taiwanese optometrist helped me to wear a little heavier, so that I can see when I look far away. Get clear.
However, the eyes often cannot adapt to parallax immediately after taking it off. Over time, when it is not necessary, they will not take the initiative to wear glasses, but this is not good for correction. At the JINS store, I am still a little worried that I can’t wear glasses. The problems encountered were communicated clearly with the service staff. Fortunately, there is a Chinese service staff in the Odaiba branch who can clearly understand the above situation.
The optometry machine in Japan is roughly the same as that in Taiwan, except that the left and right eye power can be tested on the same machine. Unlike Taiwan, there will be a distance for you to wave your hand to point out the notch direction of C. JINS is very careful in optometry. After the service staff have matched two lenses, they will cross-check the clarity three to four times until they confirm that the answers are the same. This is what I think is different from Taiwan, in order to confirm the wearing of the lenses. Feeling degree.
Finally, let me take it for a walk and take a look. After there is no problem, I will install it on the frame for 30 minutes.
Check Point

No.3 The after-sales service of Taiwan and Japan optical shops is very different. JINS's main feature is that you can replace the lenses twice free of charge during the six-month warranty period.
Remember before I said that I once bought my own frames and then brought them to the optical shop to match the lenses?This is the little helper in the service before starting JINS glasses!Taiwanese optical shops will buy high-quality lenses from various countries, such as Asahi lenses, Nikon lenses, Zeiss lenses, etc. If you want thinness, anti-blue light or refraction, I started with a price of 4,500 (after discount). After all, eyesight is a lifetime. No one would want to compromise their eyesight by greed for money.I always felt a bit difficult to wear at the beginning. When I went back to the optical shop and asked, it was only to explain that I needed some time to adapt to the new degree. The consultation seemed to make no difference and no adjustments could be made. I just wear it when I touch my nose.
Last week I took a little time to take a picture of the glasses out of the box, so that the new glasses will begin to serve. In order to prevent psychological effects, I only wear them at work.The lens is anti-blue light. I didn’t expect that the surrounding area would really become a little yellow after wearing it. My eyes are a little more comfortable when I read the computer screen, but I often have to organize and repair photos. I need to look at the real color to avoid repairing. If it is wrong, it will be replaced with the original glasses.In this regard, the Asahi lenses that I matched at the Taiwan optical shop did get what you paid for. There was no such problem.
Finally, I checked some information shared by Geyou. It turns out that JINS provides a half-year warranty and two free lens replacement services. For friends who often travel to Japan, it seems that there is no need to worry about the warranty consultation service after wearing?In fact, the service staff of the Odaiba branch told me that JINS will come to Taiwan in the autumn and has locked the Xinyi District as the first base of the exhibition. Then there is no need to go to Japan specially, but the original people who have bought their glasses, There are also physical stores to consult.
