I’m now here at a glasses tourism factory.
But how can glasses be made into a tourism factory?
Do you want to know more?
Let’s go check it out.
Hi everyone this is Ms. Yeh.
Hi, Ms. Yeh.
Hi everyone.
Ms. Yeh, could you please give me a tour around your tourist factory?
Ok ,no problem.
So why are there so many owls here?
The owl is the corporate identity of our corporation
because owls have the best night vision
among all animals.
Besides, it’s visual wide angle can be up to 270 degrees.
Owls are considered the symbols of wisdom, happiness,
protection, and delivering babies.
Owls’ big eyes often make people think they wear glasses.
It is a perfect candidate for mascots.
In the tourism factory,
you can get a glimpse of the history of Taiwan’s eyewear industry.
Behind me you can see the history of Taiwan’s glasses industry.
And do you know?
Tainan is the place where most glasses factory would gather,
and now Taiwan is moving on to make more technological
and more advanced glasses.
Jacqueline, if you go hiking tomorrow,
will you wear this pair of shoes?
And if you go hiking tomorrow,
will your still wear your original glasses?
This is a good question.
When doing sports, you should protect not only your feet,
but also your eyes.
The factory displays glasses
that are used for playing different sports.
Watch out for UV rays when you’re in a snow-covered area.
Also, it’s important to prevent your glasses from fogging up.
Next time when I go skiing,
I’ll definitely take this with me.
Jacqueline, are you nearsighted?
A little.
People who are nearsighted have two options
when they need to wear glasses to do sports.
The first one is to wear contact lenses,
but this way won’t work if he or she has Dry eye syndrome (DES).
The latest one-piece lens sport glasses are really cool.
If you’re nearsighted, your choices of glasses are quite limited
because of prescription lenses,
and eyeglasses look way too thick and not so appealing.
However, the latest technology allows us to
make one-piece lens glasses with prespcription.
There are many visual inspection games here.
Let’s check our eye condition!
This game is a little test to see
how sensible your eyes are to the contrast colors.
And you see I got 49 points, I almost break the record.
Here you can see how glasses are made.
I never knew how my glasses were made.
But here, you can learn the whole process
and also some knowledge about glasses.
So when you come to the tourism factory,
don’t miss this part.
It’s so interesting.
The equipment here tells you how old your eyes are.
How old are my eyes?
Your eye age is around thirty years old.
Oh my goodness, I’m only 21 years old,
but my biological eye age is 30!
Can you believe that?
How do eye diseases happen?
How can we tell if we have eye diseases
and how do we prevent them?
You can find all the answers here.
How does it feel if you are diagnosed
with Age-Related Macular Degeneration (ARMD)?
Jacqueline, please wear this pair of glasses for me.
This is how you would feel if you are diagnosed
with Age-Related Macular Degeneration.
So now there is a spot in the middle of my eye.
So if you have such disease,
it can really hurt your visual sight.
Thus, we should also use anti-Blue-ray products
when we are using 3C products.
You can experience how the world looks like
through glasses of different colors.
So different color glasses will bring you
different kinds of visual sight.
For example, when you wear
a pair of yellow glasses at night,
it can make your visual field and your sight better.
So when you are at a park or you’re looking at some plants,
you wear a pair of green glasses,
it will make your vision brighter and more beautiful.
You can test the hardness of eyeglass lenses here.
Let’s see if I can shoot the gun accurately.
Awesome!
So if you want to learn more about
the optical industry here in Taiwan,
you should never miss this factory.
