A Japanese Glasses Manufacturer in Fukui, has developed and now begun selling spectacles that are specifically designed to remind you to blink! Not blinking often enough can result in eye strain, and so this new innovation aims to help keep your eyes healthy.

Known as “wink glasses” they contain a liquid crystal sheet and an advanced motion sensor that detects when you blink.

If you do not blink once every 5 seconds then the lenses in these “wink glasses” cloud over, it clears instantly when you close and re-open your eyes.

We wonder if these could be dangerous if worn when driving

People tend to blink less when reading or concentrating hard. This is all well and good, but we’re not sure they should be worn whilst driving!
