  1. Spectacles that bring better lives

    One time a while back, I went to the gym to fit in my regular workout and realized that I was missing an important piece of equipment — my contact lenses. I am afflicted with nearsightedness and therefore, stuff beyond the end of my nose all looks blurry. For some reason, when packing my bag that day, the thought of seeing while I worked out did not occur to me even though for me, not being able to see is aggravating. But since I was there, I got dressed and began my exercise routine anyway.

  5. News of the Weird: Jerusalem Orthodox Community Selling Glasses That Blur Out Scantily-Clad Women

    Unclear on the Concept (and the Image): The Associated Press, reporting in August from Jerusalem, noted that the ultra-Orthodox community's "modesty patrols" were selling eyeglasses with "special blur-inducing stickers" that fuzz up distant images so that offended men will not inadvertently spot immodestly dressed women. (The stickers apparently simulate nearsightedness, in that vision is clear in the near-field.) The "modesty patrols" have long tried to shame women dressed in anything other than closed-neck, long-sleeved blouses and long skirts, but may be losing that fight. A columnist for the Tel Aviv daily <em>Haaretz</em> praised the eyeglasses for shifting the responsibility to men for their priggishness.
