Having the resources to afford eyeglasses or having access to an optician is actually quite new, considering eyeglasses (in some form) have been around since the 1300s. Eyeglasses can not only correct vision but also provide protection as well. For today, Howard letterpress printed a halftone from the Brett from Pennsylvania Collection. This halftone depicts a 1950s workplace safety reminder. Tha

One of the first signs I noticed was that her eyes moved unpredictably and she could not control it—a condition called Nystagmus. She’s also missing a part of her brain called the Septum Pellucid

Today, 1.1 billion people live with sight loss or blindness, but 90% of cases could be treated or prevented. Each iris photographed at Kings Cross could helps fund a cataract surgery, life-changing glasses, or sight-saving medicine.
