1930's Special Cure Lenses

These set of lenses came from an optometrists personal collection. Used as a treatment for myopia these special glasses were to be worn several times a day. There is something special about these that transcends their intended use--didn't Ducasse say ‘Beautiful as the chance meeting, on a dissecting table, of a sewing machine and an umbrella’--this is something like that.
