Tips

• A much better way to get money from lenses, rather than simply selling them, is to stockpile them until you have 6, at which point you can craft a Suspicious Looking Eye, kill the Eye of Cthulhu and sell the reward.
• You can also craft a Mechanical Eye and defeat The Twins and sell the rewards.
