Corrective eye wear has existed since the 1st century, but the first eyeglasses are credited to Salvino D’Armate in 1284, the original four-eyes. Paintings and writings revealed various forms of early eye wear, often making tape on the rim look dignified. The invention of eyeglasses has benefited centuries of geeks who spend hours reading, writing, and more recently, coding and gaming causing eye strain and the need for obvious differences to make fun of. Even with contact lens and laser surgery (inspired obviously by Goldfinger), glasses remain a vital part of our fashion either because people think looking geeky is cool or just because we can’t stand rubbing our eyes all day.
