Alpo Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 These were popular back in the seventies. For some idiotic reason it became fashionable to wear glasses, so for the lane brains that did not have to wear the thing to get around, they made glasses that didn't have a prescription. On the pilot episode of NCIS, to make Abby more believable in court, they gave her glasses. Then at one point the defense attorney gave her something to read on the stand, and she was attempting to read it through these prescription glasses that she didn't need. And I wondered why she didn't just have prescriptionless. In the novel I am currently reading, someone is changing his appearance so that he can disappear. Part of his change is to get a pair of reading glasses in the weakest possible prescription. And again I thought about prescriptionless glasses. So do they still make them, or have they fallen by the wayside, like love beads and buggy whips? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allie Mo, SASS No. 25217 Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 Since my cataract surgery, I only need readers. My DL no longer says corrective lenses required. However, I can see better with a little correction to distance. I've opted to wear glasses as they hide the bags under my eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rye Miles #13621 Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 I bought some "period correct glasses" for cowboy shooting a few years ago. They were available in prescription or non prescription. I don't wear them anymore because they're not safe. I can't remember where I got em. Maybe from an ad in the Cowboy Chronicle?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And in multiple variants, from multiple sales ventures and formats and in large size portions. We are both benefactor and victim of our "Afluenza" culture.
