This item is a pair of bug-eyed goggles that can be worn over a humanoid's eyes, giving them the ability to see things that are very small.
When worn, and the wearer focuses their gaze at distances under 1 foot, they can see with clarity, 100 times better and more detailed than normal. Everything past 1-ft. is treated as if it had 90% concealment (very blurry).
The effect is that any tiny markings, seams, cracks, etc. can be seen. Thus, when the wearer focuses their gaze, secret doors, hidden compartments, pits, or traps that involve moving surfaces can be noted 100% of the time. "Moving surfaces" might include the seams around tilting floors or falling stone blocks, but not pressure plates or the like (assuming some type of covering). The goggles otherwise grant a +20% to find traps checks (for location of the trap only and only for those trained in the skill) unless ruled otherwise by the GM based on the nature of the trap.
In order to focus their gaze, the wearer must become immobile. When focused, the wearer can inspect a 5-ft. area (or one object) as a complex activity.
Donning the goggles is a major action.
