    Help finding something Japanese ....


    国際交流パーティー - Tokyo International Party

    Hello all.
    My left eye was.... taken. I need an eyepatch, and I prefer the white Japanese kind* over the typical black ones. For one, they look more comfortable. I made a trial one at home, and I liked it - now I'm looking for something better made to wear out.
    I read a thread that was on here a while back that was closed due to "too much BS", so let me clear it up right now. I am not looking for a white eyepatch because they are Japanese - I couldn't care less if they came from Sweden, New York or Zimbabwe. The fact is I would rather wear one of those than the black ones.

    Obviously I'm looking for something cheap, preferably that comes with more than one in a pack. I don't know how fast these things go, but I assume I'll have to change them. These are medical supplies, used by every Japanese hospital, school, and army infirmary, yet somehow I can't find any online suppliers - not even for bulk orders. I do not live in Japan, or anywhere that sells them in the store. Heck, most pharmacies don't even sell the black ones...
    Help me out here

    I saw a girl wearing one yesterday. I think they're generally used here in connection with eye treatment and not as covers for lost eyes, though I suppose you could use them for that.

    Haha... well, it's not exactly gone. Complicated ;)
    But yes, I agree that they are used mostly during surgery, infection, recovery, etc.

    Being retired gives me lots of spare time , LOL.

    I always use GOOGLE and try several different words to search. If I keep at it long enough , I sometimes get lucky. I hope you can order and receive them OK.
