  • japanese prescription glasses, sealed, rx-able

    Hi everybody from Itay!

    I has severe dry eye (shirmer 1 mm) and a high prescription (right eye is -7) so it is impossible for me to have wrap around sealed prescription glasses done (moreover my eyelashes are pretty long and cannot use optical insert as they hit the glass and I hate it!). I use to have dry eye all the time but things worsen in summer as in my office people want to keep air condition fully blown not to speak of air condition in trains which I have to use quite frequently.

    I was looking for a rx-able sealed glasses which I can wear out of home (I often use prescription swimming goggle but they are really too much to use in public!) and came across Ziena which I was thinking to buy. Anyway they are sunglasses style and I wouldn't use them in office, so I had a look through goggle images and came across these: http://item.rakuten.co.jp/loupe-studio/axe-s-27/

    here's an approximate English translation http://global.rakuten.com/en/store/t...tem/eyes-cure/

    I found them to have a decent look as prescription day glasses but I think they are avalaible in Japan only even if a service of shipping is avalaible (but looks pretty complicated http://global.rakuten.com/en/help/se...orwarding.html)...

    What do you think about this product? Rebecca, have you ever heard about them?

    Many thanks and all the best to you all!!

      Thanks so much for this information! They brown and grey colors look more conservative than MEGS and hopefully less noticeable. Maybe they'll come to the US sometime.

            I have tried to order them but they were sold out at the time. Let us know how it goes.

              Pinksummer, I really like these. I have a presption around -4 so I understand how strong yours is. I am sorry I know it is a pain. Do you know if you order the frame and then you put a presctiption in yourself once you get them? My face is kid size and everything is big. I just want to look good in glasses...

              Thanks
