Did you lose your glasses?

If it’s an emergency situation where you lost your glasses and you need to read something, all you need is a leaf and a tiny stick, or a piece of paper and a pin.  Robert Krampf explains it at the Science Education Company.

I just tried his simple technique and it works impressively (though it’s not practical as a long-term solution). 

Note to self: always carry around a leaf and a pin in case I lose my glasses.

    This same method works reasonably well without a pin: just squint your eyes. The resulting slit between your upper and lower eyelids will function the way a pinhole does to sharpen your vision.

    BTW, a pinhole through cardboard, aluminum foil, tree bark, etc., will also make a handy pair of emergency sunglasses.
