History and uses of prescription glasses

Vision care has been an essential necessity for thousands of years. In the 13th century, the study of devices to improve eyesight began. Later, in the 18th century, Benjamin Franklin invented the first bifocal glasses.

Originally, glasses were mainly used for presbyopia. It was not until the 19th century that progressive lenses were created to improve vision in any situation.

Nowadays, there is a wide variety of lenses capable of improving the quality of life of their users. Among them we have photochromic glasses, which can be graduated and adjusted according to the level of sunlight.

Types of prescription glasses

Prescription glasses lenses are classified into three types:

• Monofocal: They are the type of lenses used to correct astigmatism, myopia and hyperopia. They are characterized by having a single prescription throughout the lens.
• Bifocals: They were developed as a treatment for presbyopia, although progressive lenses are currently preferred. These types of lenses are divided into two areas, each with a different magnification range.
• Multifocal: Also called “progressive lenses”, they give you the ability to see well at any distance. They are the right option for people with different prescriptions in their eyes.
