Spectrolenses

These glasses (and contact lenses) allow the wearer to see infrared, ultraviolet, and many other electromagnetic bands which we cannot see naturally.

The lenses act as spectroscopes, and photochemically shift the light into our "visible light" spectrum. Of course, separate lenses are required for spectrums below or above ours, and for the extremes (e.g., gamma).

WARNING: It is not recommended to expose your eyes to Spectrolenses for extended periods of time. Do not drive while wearing Spectrolenses. If headaches or nausea ensue, discontinue use of lenses and contact a physician.

       Are "Spectrolenses" similar to the Rainbow Glasses sold in kids' science experiment and joke catalogs? [see Link] These glasses were used in a demonstration on how to build your own Spectroscope.
