over the ordinary glasses at present before the public.
They may be used for reading, writing, or any delicate
work several hours at a time without fatiguing the sight.
They do not require repeatedly cleaning, as the
material they are composed of does not allow the natural
moisture of the Eye to condense upon it.
They are clear and cool, and tend to improve rather
than weaken the sight by constant use.
They are the best, and therefore the cheapest, as they
last many years without change being necessary.
