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.

Everybody thinks you wear glasses but when they ask you you always say no. What would you do if you were shy to start wearing glasses?

I'm not sure why anybody (let alone everybody) would think you wear glasses when you don't, I mean aren't glasses rather obvious when you wear them,.. Think about it. When/if you do start wearing glasses, then everybody will know you do... without having to ask.If you need glasses, don't be shy, they will help you see like you should be able to! You may be surprised at what you were overlooking before.
