Some companies in Japan ban women from wearing glasses. Airlines say it's for safety, cosmetics companies say customers can't see makeup behind glasses, retail stores say glasses give a "cold impression," and traditional restaurants say kimono doesn't look good with glasses.
But men at the same jobs are allowed to wear glasses! Women have to wear contact lenses instead, even if it hurts their eyes or they have eye infections. Some women even had to get laser eye surgery just to keep their jobs.
