Invisible Lens Worn Under Eyelids (Dec, 1936)
Invisible Lens Worn Under Eyelids
IN a demonstration before the American Academy of Optometry in Chicago, Dr. William Feinbloom, a New York optometrist, demonstrated a perfected type of invisible eyeglass to be worn under the eyelids. Unlike European spectacles of a similar nature the new glasses eliminate misfits since each lens is made over with a wax cast of patient’s eye.
I’ed think getting a decent shot going at speed would be impossible...
It all sounds fine until you reach the words “wax cast of the patient’s eye”….

Lenses in direct contact with the eye! How quaint?
