Lenses...

Are see-through lenses (not intended to correct visual ailments) allowed, or viable in Zalanthas? And if not, why not?

Transparent glass lenses:  probably not, except in supremely rare cases in the (equivalent) high-tech labs of the gameworld (if at all necessary, which it arguably isn't).

Why not:  technological innovation being stymied by a mix of oppression, a lack of literacy, the overall rarity of metal, the existence of magick and the likely accompanying fear of things that come close to it, and the fact that a pre-industrial/low-technology society riven by the aforementioned oppression likely has fewer realized wants and needs that have to do with using lenses to (I assume, since you specifically said not for correcting visual ailments) magnify things.

With appropriate roleplay of course.
