You never forget the first time you strain your neck. It’s a painful introduction to how much it sucks to have to lie there and try to amuse yourself.

Fortunately, if you don’t mind looking like a total dork, there’s finally something available for you.

Prism Glasses are actually misnamed. These are really more “periscope glasses.” But the basic idea is the same regardless of what you call them. Two mirrors are placed over your eyes and reflect light into your corneas. So you can sit a book on your chest and read it, or watch TV while lying completely flat on your back.

The tradeoff is, as you’ve probably gathered, that you will look like a complete dweeb. So really this is designed entirely for people who live alone or for people who have been married for at least a decade and won’t stop respecting each other just for wearing something incredibly stupid.

But, hey, it’ll reduce neck strain and finally let you watch TV utterly prone. Now if they can just design something that will let you drink a beer while lying flat on your back.
