眼鏡洗浄

日本の眼鏡屋の外に置いてある眼鏡洗浄機は親切ですね。イギリスではこんな良いサービスはなかった。

A really insightful post featuring dolphins and glasses... :D
The ultrasound washer looks cool. It's always a pain to clean my glasses :(
How old is that interview? the song reminded me of Ghibli's productions^^;As well as the backgrownd music.
We don't have those convinient baths for glasses here, if you want them cleaned - you payT_T You can, however, buy tissues which do an exccellent job!

How interesting! They would certainly be useful if they were more widespread. :p That is certainly considerate of the shop staff to all wear glasses, though. XD

How expensive are Glasses in Tokyo? Here in places like Pacific Mall you get designer frames for roughly 200CDN which is roughly 16200JPY.

Optics in Singapore are super expensive. My glasses cost me about S$950. That's only for one pair. My frame is a Oakley Titanium Pewter - Chop Top 2.0 with a super thin Nikon lenses. Forgot the material of the lenses.

Designer frames available here in HK for about half of that. >< Wish I'd know before I got my extra pair in Canada, even if they weren't designer.

Hmmm...even with laser surgery (LASIK) to correct your vision which is widely affordable now compared to 2 or 3 years ago, I'd still prefer wearing glasses. Of course the frame makes all the difference on how you look. I've had 2 pairs of "Masaki Matsushima" frames for about 2 years now and they are really good & cool looking too. It does cost quite a bit though.
As for the ultra sonic washer, well it ain't a free service around these neck of the woods.have to pay a weeee bitty amount for the service.
Otaku ^^
LASIK is not for everyone. You need to approach a specialist to determine if your eyes are eligible to the procedure or not.

I wouldn't mind working at a glasses shop! I don't need glasses but always try out other people's ones. Apparently is bad to wear other people's glasses though... especially when you don't need glasses yourself

My eyes are strange as hell, my left eye is mildly nearsighted, but my right eye is binocular (better than 20/20). My brain somehow compensates when both eyes are open and uses the clear image only.
http://vivato.blogspot.com/
For me, the best way to clean my glasses is wash it with hand soap and then wipe with a dry cotton towel. Hand soap or body shampoo is better than microfiber cloth in getting rid of the oil on the glasses.

I've had glasses since junior high. All that reading in the dark and playing the original Gameboy.
That's a nice eye glass bath there. When I was in the states, I bought these glasses cleaning pads that had this alcohol smell. Worked really well. Now a days, I just use soap and water + paper towel.

I like the idea of optician wearing glasses so they can better relate to their customers. Always be in the shoe of those unfortunate then we will be able to understand their feeling. :)
For me I don't wear glasses and so far my eyesight is still good. I agree in Malaysia there is many shop assistants who will hound you when you enter the shop. -_-;

I usually use alcohol wipes now and then to clean my glasses. That ultrasound pool seems like a neat way to do it except it probably costs quite a bit for one of those machines.

I think I've seen that in an optical shop before or maybe its something else since it looks similar. But its a tub which contains water too.
Even if they had one of those devices, it wouldn't be out in the open for the public to use.
Back to the grind
that's a good way to clean glasses.I've been wearing glasses since I started school.

Do you dip only the lens in or just throw your whole specs in?
Then what's the machine behind for???
university film student | ecchikid | the Archivist

The whole thing. From my experience though the machine behind *is* the ultrasound, and the tub goes in the machine...so I'm not sure what's going on. ^^;

Hmm, i guess that makes sense, I always tell my mother that i can't relate to her + the rest of the family (Every1 except me wears glasses)

Reminds me that I should probably have my eyes checked out At Some Point. My left eye is okay, but unless I hold something close by, everything looks fuzzy out of my right. Pity I'm scared of doctors, gyaaa! And I look like a total dorkwad in glasses, that too.
Bit of a pity we don't have those fancy little glasses cleaning devices here. I'd like to try one out, just to see how it works! (but I'm weird like that)

I *have* that ultrasound machine1 Works good for all sorts of things besides glasses.

Haha you always crack me up slipping in those dolphin jokes out of no where.
I have never seen something like this before. This is a nice way of taming customers.
Software Developer
Quite handy that, don't have them over here, at least not seen them before.
The worst part of wearing glasses for me is choosing the damn things. Took me multiple trips in May to pick my new pair. Went from frame-less to full frames which is a bit of a change after about 4 years with no frames!
Also, anywhere else apart from the UK have silly stickers on the test frames in the Opticians? Makes choosing extra tricky when you can't really see out of one eye.

that's a nice idea!

ohh how awesome! people here never understand when I say the ultrasound can clean thier glasses so much better . . . perfect service idea, especially since they don't hound you if you use it!
wish we had that here

So what exactly is the purpose of the ultra sound to clean the glasses?...I prefer to wear glasses rather than use contacts...and I don't feel too good about using lasers...

Same reason ultrasound cleaners are used on jewelry--it jostles all kinds of dirt from places you can't get to yourself. I'm guessing it probably cleans out the nosepads (which in my case get disgusting fairly quickly) and where the frames meet the lenses. Me waaaaants. Especially for nosepad benefits. ^^;

Yup - had my cleaned just today. Nosepad has never been cleaner, save the time when I got it.

I have been wearing glasses since Grade One or Two. Must've been six or seven. Have been personal witness to how the styles of specs have changed over the past twenty years. I switched to contacts very briefly, but they were too irritating, so I went back.
Would SERIOUSLY want to love to have one of those ultrasound cleaners here, but I normally get by with soaking a tissue in alcohol, swiping that over the lenses to clean off the grime, then polish with the provided soft cloth.

Interestingly when I was in Akihabara a couple years ago, I discovered a Maid glasses store. No idea if they had an actual optician, or of they just sold the frames.
Actually, knowing Akihabara, they might have all been fake fashion glasses.

Frightening coincidences occur everyday on this site, it seems...you may not have posted it just now, but I'm reading this right after I got back from visiting an optician with my cousin. While she was getting her contacts, I sat trying to clean out some dirt from my frames. The optician at the counter was so disturbed he took them from me and gave them a thorough ultrasound bath. ^^; After asking, of course.

Thanks for that tip! I'll try it the next time a pass by a megane store ^_^!
