invention of glasses

Many inventions have changed the way that people all over the

world live. One invention that has helped people with bad eyesight is

eyeglasses. The eyeglasses help people who are farsighted and

nearsighted. Originally, eyeglasses were invented for one person, but

grew to helping millions of people all over the world. (Watson 12)

When people hear the world eyeglasses, they usually think that

the inventor was Benjamin Franklin. Contrary to belief, Benjamin

Franklin did not invent eyeglasses. He invented bifocals, a different

form of eyeglasses, which consisted of two different lenses. (Watson

12) The inventor of eyeglasses is not known. The best known case of

eyeglasses is that of Emperor Nero, who used to watch performances

in the arena holding in front of one eye, a jewel with curved

facets.(Watson 14) A person by the name of Edward Rosen has other

beliefs though. He believes that around the time period of 1820 that the

inventor was probably a glazier who made ornaments and glass discs

Another story about how eyeglasses were invented is about a

man named Seneca who was a first-century Roman leader. He was

able to read, but had very poor eyesig


on by means of a sturdy clip or tight spring between the lenses. Even

at least they didn't break. (Anderson 27)

Although we do not know who invented eyeglasses, we know
