How to see without your glasses
Education • Science
If you wear glasses, then you know how challenging it can be to find your glasses if you have laid them down and can't remember where you put them. You need your glasses to find your glasses, this is a way that you can make a quick, emergency pair of glasses for yourself or someone else that needs them. You will need:
someone that needs glasses
a piece of stiff paper or aluminum foil
a needle, pin, or sharp nail
If you wear glasses, take them off. Look around you. Things probably look very blurry. If you don't wear glasses, ask a friend that does wear glasses to let you borrow them for a minute. By putting on their glasses, you can blur your vision.
Now we are going to make some paper glasses. Put your glasses back on if you need them to see up close. Use the pin to make a small, round hole in the piece of paper. Hold the paper up to your eye and look through the hole. If you normally wear glasses, you may be in for a surprise. Things look almost as clear as they do with your glasses. They will look dimmer, but very sharp and clear. If you are wearing your friend’s glasses, you should see a clear image, even through their lenses.
