They are not only of no ben efit but really harmful in the stronger curves on account of the prismatic effect and consequent color change. The statement that you see straight through the glass in looking down, up, or all around is misleading, you look through the center of any lens, the frame la tilted for reading, the eyes are closed when looking up, and looking all around is intolerable and a violation of police regula tions, so "What's the Use"? f w D.
