Thanks to the advent of lasers that can cut into your eye and fix your vision, coinciding with the progression of the contact lens, \u201cRec\u00a0Specs<\/strong>\u201d have been made obsolete except for at select racquetball courts\/Men\u2019s Clubs across the country, where accountants and lawyers duel to the death.<\/h1>\n

They may have been just a pair of glasses with some duct tape keeping them in position, but they spawned an entire generation from their loins.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
