Megane Top launches nationwide eyewear inspection and disaster-preparedness case distribution

Starting September 1, 2026, Megane Top (operating as "Megane Ichiba") is conducting simultaneous eyewear inspections at all its stores across Japan. The initiative targets both glasses purchased from Megane Ichiba and those bought from other retailers. Inspections include checking and replacing parts, verifying screw looseness or deterioration, adjusting balance, and cleaning. To support disaster preparedness, the company is distributing "Disaster Prevention Glasses Cases" to store inspected glasses for emergency storage. This program, a continuation of last year's effort, aims to ensure users have functional vision aids during emergencies, particularly addressing issues like contact lens hygiene limitations or the need for reading glasses in shelters.

Megane Top, headquartered in Shizuoka City, has launched the MEGANE ICHIBA FIT PLUS contact lens solution for sale at all Megane Ichiba stores nationwide. Priced at 880 yen including tax, this product is designed to be applied before inserting lenses rather than after discomfort occurs, aiming to support a comfortable wearing experience. The formulation includes two amino acids (taurine and aspartic acid) and chondroitin sulfate as a viscosity agent to protect the corneal surface. It also contains hydroxypropyl methylcellulose and polyvinyl alcohol to create a moisture veil on the lens, which helps prevent protein and lipid deposits from adhering. The company states that one bottle is sufficient for all types of contact lenses, eliminating the need for multiple products.

Megane Top has launched the MEGANE ICHIBA 2WEEK MAX, a two-week replacement contact lens made from silicone hydrogel material. The product combines high oxygen permeability with softness to reduce eye burden during extended wear and minimize dryness or redness risks. It features sodium hyaluronate and sodium alginate in the storage solution for prolonged moisture, along with UV protection. The lenses are available at all Megane Ichiba stores nationwide and on the official website for 3,350 yen including tax. A launch promotion offering 30% off (2,345 yen including tax) for first-time purchases is valid through September 30, 2026, exclusively for in-store transactions.
