While weâre completely engrossed in those addictive video games, let alone eating food or going out to catch some air, we even forget to blink our eyes. This leads to a pestering problem, Keratoconjunctivitis sicca (KCS) a.k.a. keratitis sicca, xerophthalmia or simply Dry-Eye, which is cause due to a decreased tear-production or increased tear film evaporation. It is our natural tendency to reduce our blink rate when concentrating and these activities like prolonged video game-play, computer usage et al reduce our blinking rate, thereby exacerbating the Dry-Eye disease. So, in order that you donât suffer from this ailment, a Japanese eyewear maker Masunaga Opticals has invented âWink Glassesâ, which supposedly prevents DRY-Eye, by making you blink every 5 seconds.
These Wink Glasses have a sensor on them, which monitors the userâs eye-activity and how often he blinks. If he fails to blink within 5 seconds, glass lens fogs up (technically speaking: the ultra-thin liquid crystal sheet on one lens turns opaque) and the user is forced to blink, after which the fog disappears restoring the lens vision to normal. So, this cool eyewear can be pretty handy if you donât want to have itchy, scratchy, stingy, tired or burning eyes, which are only a few of Dry-Eyesâ symptoms. Wink Glasses are powered via a rechargeable battery or a built in USB port and are available for Y40, 950 or $449.089.
