In Japan you can get glasses for dirty cheap, including the eye check and case that goes with it. That's what happens when you liberate the market.

NOTE: it's not reimbursed but nobody cares because it's cheap.




Japanese brands are slowly starting to make inroads overseas too. Owndays (cheap) and 999.9 (expensive but great service and very high quality) are now available in Australia and many Asian countries, Zoff has made its way to Singapore and Hong Kong.


Yep - got my current pair of glasses from Zoff for around $30 all said and done.
