Tried and tested: Elysium Lenses

My day job involves staring at screens and I was under the illusion that my choice of spectacles was doing their job, enabling me to spot double spaces, commas that should have been semi colons etc... Similarly, in my other life as a musician, my spectacles actually enabled me to see what notes I should be playing; curtailing my usual excuse that the dots hadn’t been written properly.

This delusion was shattered when I tried out a friend’s rather snazzy reading glasses that seemed to be scattering shards of blue every time he turned. The difference was huge; such clarity, I was seeing everything on screen bigger and better than ever before. I knew I had to get my own pair.
