  • 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.
