Lazy Glasses Let You Read Lying Flat, a 1930s Invention
Posts revive 1930s prism glasses designed for people forced to lie flat.
Multiple X accounts shared videos of prism glasses that bend light so wearers can read or watch screens while lying on their backs. One post called the devices a Japanese invention for lazy people. A reply stated the glasses originated in the 1930s as a medical aid for spinal-injury and chronic-illness patients who had to remain supine. Another user said they would wear the glasses while managing anemia and POTS. A separate account posted a video of the glasses and noted a friend wants them for a birthday gift.
