A '''Myrish eye'''{{Ref|ASOS|69}}{{Ref|ADWD|63}} or '''Myrish lens tube'''{{Ref|AGOT|53}}{{Ref|ACOK|66}} is a telescope consisting of a [[bronze]] tube with ground glass lenses at either end. They include larger devices which can be attached to tripods for observatories{{ref|AGOT|6}} and smaller monoculars useful for sailors.{{Ref|ADWD|63}} A Myrish eye can be called a '''far-eye''',{{Ref|AGOT|53}} although [[George R. R. Martin]] also refers to human lookouts,{{Ref|ACOK|22}}{{Ref|ASOS|Prologue}} such as sailors in a ship's crow's nest,{{Ref|AGOT|18}} as far-eyes.{{Ref|AGOT|Prologue}}

Polished lenses might come from other [[Free Cities]],{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Free Cities}} but the lenscrafters of [[Myr]] are considered without equal.{{Ref|AGOT|6}}{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Free Cities: The Quarrelsome Daughters: Myr, Lys, and Tyrosh}} Maesters [[Luwin]] and [[Aemon Targaryen (son of Maekar I)|Aemon]] have both used far-eyes to [[Astronomy|observe the stars]].{{Ref|AGOT|6}}{{Ref|ASOS|69}}

==Quotes==
{{Quote|A lens is an instrument to help us see.{{Ref|AGOT|6}}|[[Catelyn Stark]] to [[Luwin]]}}

{{Quote|[[Dove|Her captain]] owned a [[Myr]]ish eye that made far-off things look close—two glass lenses in a series of [[brass]] tubes, cunningly wrought so that each section slid into the next, until the eye was no longer than a dirk. Victarion claimed that treasure for himself.{{Ref|ADWD|63}}|thoughts of [[Victarion Greyjoy]]}}
