  2. Old times glasses called spectacles.

  3. History In 1284, a man named Salvino D’armate discovered the first glasses in Italy. They consisted of two framed glass or crystal stones, and were held up to the eyes using a handle. It is unclear who invented these primitive eyeglasses, but their use soon spread throughout Europe. During this time, Venice, Italy, was a Mecca for medieval glass production. The guild of crystal workers was established in 1284. In 1300, they adopted regulations for the manufacture of “discs for the eyes.” This served as a major catalyst for the future of eyeglasses. By the end of the 14th century, thousands of eyeglasses were being exported to all of Europe. It was made because some people can’t see and it was made by drinking glasses.
