| Caption | Ideal Sight Restorer, New York, United States, 1901–1930. Made by the Ideal Company, this unusual device – an eye massager – promised to cure imperfect vision and eye diseases such as cataracts which cause blindness. The rubber cups are placed on closed eyelids and the rubber circle in the middle squeezed. This produced suction every time the circle was pressed, creating a massaging effect.
