Your glasses have been sitting crooked on your face for three days. In Japan the right shop fixes that at the counter in five minutes, usually for nothing.

Kanji in this phrase

調整: ちょうせい
眼鏡市場: めがねいちば

Why this phrase

Some of the big glasses chains, 眼鏡市場, OWNDAYS and パリミキ, will bend a frame back into shape, tighten the screws and clean your lenses at the counter, normally free, even if you didn't buy them there. Screws and nose pads usually get swapped free too; an actual break gets quoted. JINS and Zoff are the exception, they generally only service glasses they sold you. No appointment, about five minutes. Scene: a glasses shop counter. Kōfuku walks in with bent frames and asks; Hana plays the staff member who takes them to the bench and hands them back straight.
