I love how they put a pic of "Epstein File Mark" in the article ;)

They do not need to have hidden cameras to work as an aid. The push to make the cameras and microphones hidden is the problem.

    Who's pushing to make them hidden? If you want hidden cameras there's thousands of vastly superior options than thick, ugly, obvious glasses.

    Go search AliExpress right now for "hidden camera". Your mind will be blown.

    I think it’s reasonable if sight impaired people want to appear inconspicuous. You say this is “hiding” the glasses but do you expect them to walk around with a GoPro strapped to a helmet so they can have street signs read to them?
