Eyeglasses History
- For many centuries the eyeglasses were made of wood, horn or bone.
- To date, the name of the inventor of the first glasses has not been revealed.
- In 1780 Benjamin Franklin created the first bifocal eyeglasses.

What do the numbers in the eyeglass prescription mean
- (OD): oculus dextrus = right eye (OS): oculus sinister = left eye.
- (SPH): spherical, the degree of nearsightedness or farsightedness.
- (CYL): cylinder, the degree of the astigmatism.
- (AXIS): axis, reveals the orientation of the astigmatism.
How does someone with farsightedness see?
- The image is focused behind the retina, making objects blurry.
- Someone with farsightedness can see better far rather than near.
- When someone with farsightedness is young, his eye is very adaptable and often does not realize that it needs glasses.
- When presbyopia usually begin, is when the person realizes the difficulty in looking far.
