Before modern phoropters, optometrists and opticians worked out a prescription by dropping trial lenses into a test frame, one after another, until the patient could read the chart. Each of these hinged-tab lenses is a small piece of that history, taken from a larger fitted trial lens case. Collectors of vintage optical and medical items enjoy them, and they look great in a shadow box, on a shelf, or in a steampunk or craft project.

Details

This lot has three loose glass lenses in silver-tone metal rims, each with a hinged finger tab.
The tabs are stamped.75 (slotted tab),.5 (slotted tab), and 6 with the triangle symbol used for prism diopters.
The lenses come loose, without a case.

Condition: Used - Good. Light scratches on the tabs and a faint orange discoloration at the hinge of the.5 lens; no chips or cracks seen. See photos.
