  • Spectacles of the Past by Carrie Crane
    Spectacles of the Past by Carrie Crane In the United States, 143 million adults wear prescription eyewear (64% of the adult population). This is big business. The U.S. market for spectacles, not including sun glasses was 13.11 billion dollars in 2019. And while the numbers have been increasing in modern times, there have always been a significant percentage of the population who suffer from either myopia (nearsightedness) or hyperopia (farsightedness). And added to that, there are those who suffer presbyopia, the loss of near vision as one ages.1,2 It was this last condition that was the first vision hinderance to be address with a visual aid. The earliest known form of reading assistance is the reading stone, which dates back to 1000 BC and was a hemispherical shaped piece of polished quartz or glass and served to magnify something that it was held directly up against.3 This suggests there was a rudimentary understanding of the magnifying properties of curved glass but this was just the beginning. It was the Italians, in the 13th century that first created something similar to spectacles. Blown glass lenses were attached to wood, leather or horn frames and held before the eyes with a handle or hinged in the middle and precariously arranged on the bridge of the nose. These were used as reading aids only and it was another 200 years before the understanding of light refraction through a lens was understood well enough to create lenses that would help those suffering from myopia. It took almost 500 years from the development of spectacles for someone to devise a better way to keep them on the face.

  • Benjamin Franklin's Many “Hats”
    Benjamin Franklin's Many “Hats” Biography of Benjamin Franklin Student Name ____________________________________________________Date___________________ Benjamin Franklin was born in Boston on January 17, 1706. He was the tenth son of soap maker, Josiah Franklin. Benjamin's mother was Abiah Folger, the second wife of Josiah. In all, Josiah would father 17 children. Josiah intended for Benjamin to enter into the clergy. However, Josiah could only afford to send his son to school for one year and clergymen needed years of schooling. But, as young Benjamin loved to read he had him apprenticed to his brother James, who was a printer. After helping James compose pamphlets and set type which was grueling work, 12-year-old Benjamin would sell their products in the streets. Apprentice Printer When Benjamin was 15 his brother started The New England Courant the first "newspaper" in Boston. Though there were two papers in the city before James's Courant, they only reprinted news from abroad. James's paper carried articles, opinion pieces written by James's friends, advertisements, and news of ship schedules. Franklin as printer Benjamin wanted to write for the paper too, but he knew that James would never let him. After all, Benjamin was just a lowly apprentice. So Ben began writing letters at night and signing them with the name of a fictional widow, Silence Dogood. Dogood was filled with advice and very critical of the world around her, particularly concerning the issue of how women were treated. Ben would sneak the letters under the print shop door at night so no one knew who was writing the pieces.

  • Information About Glasses
    Glasses Webquest The history of glasses The first recorded use of a corrective lens was by the last Roman Emperor Nero, who lived from December 5th, 37 AD until June 9, 68 AD. He watched games with gladiators using an emerald. It’s not quite clear when glasses were invented, but they were used quite commonly in northern Italy in the late 280s. Also Marco Polo, a Venetian trader and explorer who was one of the first to travel the Silk Road to China, reported that he had seen many pairs of glasses in China as early as 275. New worlds A detail from a painting by Tommaso da Modena in 1352, showing a portrait of Hugh de Provence wearing glasses. Glasses for correcting far-sightedness were probably invented by Salvino D’Armate of Pisa or by Alessandro Spina of Florence. These very early glasses weren’t supported by pads on the nose or by pieces of wire placed over the ears. They were a pince-nez, a monocle or a lorgnette. So you either had to hold them in place by hand or you had to fix them on your nose or in your eye socket with pressure. pince-nez monocle lorgnette Glasses with arms were invented in the 600s. It was in 604 that Johannes Kepler wrote that two different types of lenses could correct far-sightedness and short-sightedness. The American scientist Benjamin Franklin, who suffered from far- and short-sightedness, invented bifocals in 784. He was tired of changing between two pairs of glasses. So he cut each pair horizontally and made one single pair.
