Far-eye

A far-eye is an instrument used in navigation, consisting of glass lenses arranged inside a metal cylinder in such a way that far-away objects are visually magnified when looking through it.
==History==
===Game of Thrones: Season 8===
When Arya Stark sails west of Westeros to explore the Sunset Sea, she picks up a far-eye from the table in her cabin.
==In the books==
"Far-eye" is the term used in the A Song of Ice and Fire novels for a telescope. The word "telescope" never appears in the text.
The best far-eyes are made in the Free City of Myr, by its master lens-crafts, and these telescopes are called Myrish eyes.
Maesters often possess far-eyes to study astronomy. Both Maester Luwin and Maester Aemon possessed their own. Jon Snow used Aemon's far-eyes to spy on the wildling camp from the top of the Wall in the lead-up to the battle for the Wall.
