Glasses and Contact Lenses

Glasses
Take advantage of your proximity to the glasses capital of Japan, Sabae City! Getting new glasses or updating your lenses in Japan is incredibly easy. Any store which sells glasses can check your eye sight (based on an eye test or using a machine to measure the prescription in your old glasses). This is done right in the store without an appointment or prescription. Prices do vary widely, so it is wise to compare prices at different stores. The Sabae/Echizen City area tends to have higher-end stores, which accordingly cost more but have better quality frames. If you are looking for deals on cheaper frames or simply want to update you lenses, Fukui City might be a good place to look.

Contact Lenses
Getting new contacts is a little more complicated than glasses. Like in most of our home countries, you need an up-to-date doctor’s prescription in order to get new contacts. Here is a list of clinics and hospitals with an optometrist on staff with English help available:
