Extended periods of focusing your eyes in activities such as reading, watching TV and surfing the net can cause eyestrain and the possibility of vision impairment. This is because our eyes do not blink as often as needed and they are forced to work hard. But how are we supposed to incorporate blinking when we are much into what we are doing?

An innovative pair of glasses from Japan-based Masunaga Optical makes frequent eye blinking possible. These spectacles called the Wink Glasses have the ability to turn the lens opaque if the wearer hasn’t blinked in over five seconds. As soon as the lens becomes cloudy and the wearer blinks, the lens becomes clear again. Transparent liquid crystal sensors attached to the frame are responsible for this mechanism. Truly, this gadget helps our peepers to be in top shape.
