A '''pair of lenses''' is a type of [[tool]] that appears in ''[[NetHack]]''. It is made of [[glass]].

[[The Eyes of the Overworld]] are an [[artifact]] pair of lenses.

==Description==
Lenses are used by [[apply]]ing or [[put on|putting them on]]; while worn, they protect your eyes from the [[raven]]'s blinding attack and spat [[venom]], but not from thrown [[cream pie]]s or other sources of blindness. Wearing lenses when [[searching]] improves your chances of finding secret doors and corridors, but not traps. Worn lenses also increase your chances of successfully reading a [[spellbook]] by 10%, while reducing the time taken reading by {{frac|3}}.{{refsrc|src/spell.c|348|version=NetHack 3.6.6}}{{refsrc|src/spell.c|534|version=NetHack 3.6.6}}

Lenses cannot be worn at the same time as a [[blindfold]] or a [[towel]].

{{upcoming|NetHack 3.7.0|You can no longer wear lenses while in a headless form.}}

==History==
The pair of lenses first appears in [[NetHack 3.3.0]].
