<<< While not food how about eye glasses and cameras? Trick question eye glasses are apparently period but not for all eye problems. If I remember correctly period lenses would only correct for near sightedness. Regards cameras yes but not with a lens or "film". The answer to the trick question is the "camera obscure". >>>
Yep. You are correct in that period eyeglasses would only correct near-sightedness.
