In the long list of shopping in Japan, shopping for a pair of glasses may not have come across your mind, but it is actually a popular item due to Japan's famous technology and artisan spirit. Those that come looking for eyewear want that "MADE IN JAPAN" logo that is not only a sense of design but also about being functional and high quality.
Among the many Japanese eyewear brands, there is a famous brand that is even available in America, JINS. This time we went to JINS in Osaka's shopping street Shinsaibashi.

1. Verres Anti-Blue Light JINS SCREEN
JINS's anti-blue light glasses (JINS SCREEN) is primarily recommended for those who either wear contacts or don't wear glasses. Now with the increase of dependency on technology, we are subjected to blue light from all directions every day. The light with a wavelength of 380-495nm is the most energetic light in visible light and has a high penetration rate to the glasses. Long-term contact damages retinal cells and crystals, thereby increasing macular degeneration. For those who are on the computer a lot, or use other electronic devices for long periods of times these glasses are there to help protect your eyes.
JINS SCREEN glasses are divided into two types according to the barrier function of the lens:
1. 25% blue light cut: Natural color lens, can be worn regularly (children's glasses only available in blue light 25% cut)
2. 40% blue light cut: Yellow tinted lens, recommended for people who use mobile phones/computers for a long period of time
There are a lot of floating particles and pollution in the air, which often causes discomfort to one's eyes. Many may use eye drops or a solution to flush your eyes, but with hay fever gradually getting worse in Japan that sometimes just isn't enough for some. Which is why JINS's eyewear that offers physical protection is a popular item come spring. JINS's Block PM2.5 series offers a "shield" which effectively isolates 97.9% of suspended particles and provides the most direct protection for your eyes. This is something really special that we have never seen before in our countries.
The JINS Design Project is a collaborative project between JINS and world designers to provide more frame designs. The current hot-selling product is a frame designed by Italian architect Michele De Lucchi. It consists of four designs: Boston, Cat Eye, Round Frame, and Multi-corner, all very classic and almost old fashioned yet versatile.

There are plenty of different things to shop for while in Japan, and if you're in Shinsaibashi the options are limitless. Eyewear may not be the first thing you think of buying, everyone needs it in some way or another. When you have such limited time during your travels you may also think that getting specially made glasses is impossible, but all it takes is 30 minutes to be made and you can bring your own prescription from home at no extra cost. Not many places offer that which is why JINS is such a popular store to go to when looking for eyewear in Japan.
