Launch of 'Goku-usu' (Ultra-Thin), an Amazingly Thin Lens for Reading Glasses

Ai-Topia Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Machida-shi, Tokyo; President: Koichi Kato), which operates the 'Megane Store' optical chain primarily in the Tokyo and Kanagawa metropolitan areas, launched its original lens, 'Goku-usu' (Ultra-Thin), at all Megane Store locations on June 1, 2026. 'Goku-usu,' a lens specifically for reading glasses designed to address the thickness of farsighted lenses, achieves an astonishing level of thinness. In cases of strong farsightedness, simply choosing a lens with a high refractive index may not sufficiently reduce the center thickness; however, 'Goku-usu' is processed with a thin-design technique optimized for the frame size, resulting in a thin and lightweight finish. Because the lens is thinner, it does not protrude noticeably from the frame, and the reduced weight lessens the burden on the nose and ears, ensuring comfort even during long periods of use.
