Eye glasses were invented in the 1200's by an Italian man. However, they didn't come into medical popularity until the 1900's. People were very suspicious of this new eyewear, until around 1450; but even then, only the rich could afford them, an they were almost always used only for reading. They came into fashion in the 1950's, and people started wearing without any medical need. Nowadays, you can find glasses all over the world.
