(mynet.co.il)Most people wear glasses to see better.
But in Israel, there's a prescription for extreme ultra-Orthodox Jewish men who shun contact with the opposite sex: Glasses that blur their vision, so they don't have to see women they consider to be immodestly dressed.
The ultra-Orthodox community's unofficial "modesty patrols" are selling glasses with special blur-inducing stickers on their lenses.
The glasses provide clear vision for up to a few yards so as not to impede movement, but anything beyond that gets blurry -- including women.
It's not known how many have been sold.
The glasses are going for the "modest" price of $6.
