For Gamers Too Tired to Blink: 'Wink Glasses'

They come from the maker of Palin's stylish eyewear

Share

(Newser) – Maybe Sarah Palin—world-class winker that she is—inspired them: The maker of her stylish glasses has a new product for gamers too busy to blink. (Really.) Masunaga Optical's Wink Glasses have a sensor to keep track of blinks, and if they don't come quickly enough, the lenses fog up. Blink again, and the lenses clear. The idea is to prevent dry eyes when staring too long at a computer, or maybe even a book, notes Phyorg.com. All yours for $443.

And I 'spose gamers will feel entitled to having these and years down the line they will be covered by insurance instead of the better remedy, turn of the dang computer, get off your arse, hop in your hybrid and go volunteer. Reply

You are aware some people have to use computers all day long AS THEIR JOBS. Gamers aren't the only one who stare at computers all day.
