The first glasses were invented in 1280 by an Italian physicist named Armati. These glasses consisted of a pair of convex lenses that allowed them to be seen easily by magnifying objects.
By 1730, Edward Scarlett made his constant eyebrows. So 350 years after the invention of the eyeglasses could be fixed in the middle of the face. Because the glasses were adjustable to the head, the weight was less on the nose and the fall could be prevented. The invention of sunglasses is also very interesting. The first sunglasses were used by the Chinese in 1430. These glasses, darkened by the heat of the smoke, were not for correcting visual defects. He was also protecting from the Sun. The Chinese have resorted to this in some places so that they can not see their eyes, including the courts. They were using these dark glasses, which did not show any thought from their eye expression. In the following years, numbered glasses were brought from Italy to China, but most of them were deprived again. The first optician's shop was opened in Philadelphia by Francis Mc Allister in 1783. The glasses in the optician's shop were filled in a basket, and the customers picked up and bought the candy suitable for their eyes from there.
