Abstract
The Europeans consider Roger Bacon as the
inventor of spectacles, and the 13th Century,
as the beginning of using lenses as
spectacles. It can truly be said that the lenses
had not been born all of a sudden then. It may
be concluded that the lenses had been
available long before that time.
We are all familiar with quartz, a
transparent volcanic stone that begins its
journey in the rivers after it forms. In the river,
it rubs to the other stones and water and finds
the shape of a lens. This beauty and
transparency causes man to make glasses
and put it in front of his eyes.
