The inventor is unknown.
2 * The earliest eyeglasses were worn by monks and scholars. They were held in front of the eyes or balanced on the nose.
3 * In the 1700s, eyeglasses were made by hand. The century's most important contributions to eyeglasses were the invention of side or temple pieces that rest over the ear (first advertised in 1728) and bifocals, invented by Benjamin Franklin, in 1784.
4 * Wig spectacles. These were eyeglasses with long temple pieces that extended far beyond the ears. These were popular during this period among men who regularly wore wigs.
5 * Bifocals. Invented by Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) in 1784, the bifocal was an extremely important invention in the history of eyeglasses
6 * Scissor spectacles. These eyeglasses were commonly used by men who did not wish to wear their eyeglasses. U.S. President George Washington and Napoleon Bonaparte both used scissor spectacles.]]> 2016-07-06 08:22:28 UTC https://padlet.com/bendemeer1e2/15_ShaniceThapa_HP1/wish/115989696 Step 4 - Write A Logical Conclusion bendemeer1e2 https://padlet.com/bendemeer1e2/15_ShaniceThapa_HP1/wish/115989972 _________________________________
The first eyeglasses were made in Italy in about 1286, but it is not clear who the inventor was. In a sermon delivered on February 23, 1306, the Dominican friar Giordano da Pisa (ca. 1255–1311) wrote "It is not yet twenty years since there was found the art of making eyeglasses, which make for good vision... And it is so short a time that this new art, never before extant, was discovered. ... I saw the one who first discovered and practiced it, and I talked to him."Giordano's colleague Friar Alessandro della Spina of Pisa (d. 1313) was soon making eyeglasses
