PITTSBURGH, Jan. 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — “I wanted to create a simple and strain-free way to view small details on a map,” said an inventor, from Bethlehem, Pa., “so I invented THE GLASS EYE. My invention creates a 3D dome effect that really puts the map into a better perspective. It also can be used to mark your place or hold your page on the map, and it can easily fit in a pocket when not in use.”

The invention provides an improved way to magnify and read a map or atlas. In doing so, it offers an alternative to using a traditional magnifying glass. It also helps mark the user’s place and hold down the page. As a result, it increases visibility and convenience. The invention features a compact design that is easy to use and transport so it is ideal for individuals who use and read maps.

THE GLASS EYE is currently available for licensing or sale to manufacturers or marketers. For more information, visit www.theglasseye.net. Or contact Nathan Matthias at 717-980-9773 or email [email protected].
