How are eyeglasses made?
1. Measuring the Eye Prescription The first step is to get a prescription from an optometrist or eye doctor. The prescription will specify the strength of lenses needed to correct the patient's vision. 2. Choose a frame Once you have your prescription, you can choose the frames you like for your glasses. 3. Cutting and shaping the lens Next, the lenses are cut and shaped to fit the chosen frame. This is done using specialized equipment, such as a lensometer, which measures the size of the lens and determines the shape needed to fit the frame. 4. Edging the lenses After the lenses are cut, they are smoothed and polished around the edges to ensure a comfortable fit within the frame. 5. Frame fitting The lenses are inserted into the frame, which is adjusted to fit the patient's face. This may include adjusting the nose pads or temples. 6. Quality controlFinally, the glasses are inspected to make sure they meet the required specifications and are free of defects.
When were eyeglasses invented?
The first wearable glasses first appeared in Italy in the 13th century, and the inventor of the glasses was Salvino D'Armati of Italy. The primitive glass was made as lenses mounted in wooden or leather frames and then fixed on the front of the face or on the nose. Used mainly by monks. The first eyeglass frame temples were made by Spanish artisans in the 1600s. They tie ribbons or strings to the frames, then loop them over the user's ears.
