That's really cool. I'd like to see more research in the area (eyeglasses that don't have an effect on vision, because sometimes just doing something has a psychological effect), but this could be a really positive development.

This is just like the Democrats to appeal to the glasses-wearing block for votes.

They're desperate to chase after any votes they can now. They've become precisely what they hate in the GOP. That should have been plain after they refused to kick Sanders and his little merry cult of hateful revolutionaries that just want to torch the system out of the party.

No, they really haven't become everything they hate.

The Washington Post is owned by Jeff Bezos, and none of this is really relevant to the thread topic.

Ah, accuse the publisher of being "a sell-out." Of course.

The Washington Post is one of the most reliable news publications in the world. Now the reliability of the article in question is rather suspect as it's an opinion piece.

I do want more study before this becomes a policy, though. If people grandstand by handing out glasses before we really know that's what made the difference, we could end up with needless spectacles.

So sorry. :oops: I'll be quiet now.
