Origin[]
In what some call an apocryphal tale, a young patient of Fyodorov's was punched in the face, breaking his glasses and causing shards of glass to pierce his eyes. Once having them removed, the boy proclaimed that he could was no longer near-sighted. This may have been the inspiration for Fyodorov's research into refractive surgery to correct myopia.
Effects[]
When worn, those without 20/20 vision will find their prescription flipped. Those that were near-sighted will become far-sighted and vice versa. This was placed in the neutral category of the Medical section as it neither cures nor inflicts harm on the user.
Collection[]
Used by a Canadian Olympic Skeet Shooting competitor in order to see his targets better. This turned out to be his downfall when he neglected to return his sight to normal and immediately walked into the path of the skeet shooting machine. While the man lived, Claudia had plenty of "shooting blanks" jokes on the return trip.
