Description
While we look back at this device, opticians still have these, well some do, the old ones do... Probably. This is a vintage opticians lens test kit. Before computers did all the work, the technician would place lenses into that frame. Adjusting the angle and alignment.
You, the patient would tell them how much your head hurts from the eye strain. After that he would move the lens or add or remove them, until you can see pretty clear. At this point it became a game, he would remove one and add another and ask - is one better or two? And to you they both look bad, but you have to decide which is better, that's how you win the game. Eventually they get it right and you get your glasses made. That game is still played even today.
