Japan Is Convenient #2

Jun 19th, 2008 by Neil

Outside many Opticians in Japan you’ll find a “Glasses Cleaner” and outside this メガネドラッグ　store in Ikebukuro things were no different.

If you need some help, it has step by step instructions. Starting with turning the machine on, you will now here a light buzzing noise.

Suspend your glasses in the “buzzing” water.

After buzzing stops, rinse, dry with a supplid tissue and wear. It’s especially convenient for cleaning the grime from the nose piece of your glasses.

In Australia i’m sure they would have bolted a coin dispenser on the side of the machine and it would be inside there shop where they would go the hard sell for a new pair of glasses. In Japan it’s free, that’s what i call another example of Japan being convenient.

What the heck?! Were these machines recently installed? I didn’t see these when I was in Japan :(

This is a bonus for glass wearers :P

What’s even more convenient in Japan is the free contact lens washer. It’s only available for a season each year. You just go outside on any given day in June or early July, look up, open your eyes wide and let nature do the rest.
