+ Show Spoiler +The Japanese company that designed Sarah Palin's thin-rimmed specs has released a new set of glasses to fight "dry eye." The condition affects gamers, readers and others who stare at screens or pages for long stretches of time, causing a lower than average blinking rate.
Masunaga Optical Manufacturing Co.'s new Wink Glasses feature a tiny sensor that monitors the wearer's eye-blink activity. If the users' eyes go more than five seconds without blinking, tiny liquid crystals cause the lenses to become opaque, fogging vision. The wearer is forced to blink, after which the lenses immediately de-frost.
The high-tech glasses protect customers' eyes from fatigue and dehydration. But, they're not cheap, be ready to shell out $430.
Am I the only one blinking right now?
here is a pic:

Haha you're an asshole!
Anyways, as far as gaming glasses go I'd stick with Gunnar Optiks. Halo pros use them a bit.

Never heard of those glasses but now I want one 
I have a little bit of astigmatism, does this help?
|
Honestly, this seems pretty stupid. 430$ for a blink reminder?

sooo expensive for something so useless. I never get dry eyes...
|
It would be so lame.... when everyone else sees me wearing one of those, they'll laugh.... besides it probably costs tons of money and prone to malfunction
|
I also tend to hold my breath during tense moments in games. What should I do?
|
I would recommend that you breathe durring these moments. I've heard that people who hold their breath for any reason... workout... thinking... stress... sleep... its a very bad thing. Break the habbit nao k.
