Something very different:

Acquired by a museum ‘from one of the older university optometry departments’. It came with a number of other special purpose items including trigeminal goggles, hemianopia spectacles, a surgical ‘anti-misting’ spectacles. Could it be for a very specific facial shape or was it purely experimental. Please let us know.
