Viewpoint: Diary of a Spectacle Designer

A few months ago, we got our first family dog, an adorable golden retriever puppy named Molly. It quickly came to my attention that young Molly might have problems with her vision. Either that or amnesia. Throw a ball or a stick and off she’ll go, but halfway there, she either forgets about the object or just can’t see it and runs right by. I thought I’d Google the issue and see if I could glean any wisdom from the web. The first search result? Dog glasses from Amazon.  

Well, it sucked me in and, before I knew it, I was looking at glasses for sale. Not for Molly but for me. Her vision problems were quickly forgotten – the truth is she’s probably a genius and didn’t want to waste her energy on silly old man games.
