Occult cartridge glasses, also known as occult spectacles, are a form of eyewear that gained popularity during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. These glasses were designed to serve a dual purpose - to correct one’s vision and to provide a hidden compartment for small objects or contraband. The term "occult" in this context refers to something that is hidden or concealed. The cartridge glasses were ingeniously designed to incorporate a secret compartment within the frames. This hidden compartment, often located in the temple area or bridge of the glasses, could be used to store items such as currency, microfilm, or even small weapons. The concept of occult cartridge glasses can be traced back to the spy culture and espionage activities of the time.

The construction of occult cartridge glasses required careful craftsmanship and attention to detail. The compartments were meticulously integrated into the frames, ensuring that the glasses still functioned as regular eyewear. Some designs incorporated mechanical triggers or buttons to access the hidden compartment, adding an element of intrigue to the glasses. The popularity of occult cartridge glasses began to wane with the advent of more advanced technologies in espionage and security. As communication methods evolved and concealment techniques improved, the need for these specialized glasses diminished. However, they continue to hold a place in history as an intriguing relic of a bygone era. Today, occult cartridge glasses are predominantly found in museums, private collections, and antique stores. They serve as reminders of the creative solutions people devised in the past to carry out clandestine activities. These glasses also highlight the important role that eyewear has played beyond vision correction, blurring the line between functionality and hidden compartments..
