Glasses, also known as eyeglasses or spectacles, are vision eyewear consisting of lenses mounted in a frame. The frame typically includes a bridge over the nose and temples (arms) that rest over the ears. Glasses are used to correct vision or as protective eyewear.
In 1928, Neville Cardus characterized wearing glasses in the nineteenth century United Kingdom as a sign of weakness.
In 1971, Rishi Agarwal argued that the use of lenses reached Europe via the Arabs, referencing Vyasatirtha's possession of glasses in the 1520s.
In 2008, Joshua Silver designed adjustable corrective glasses that use a built-in syringe to pump silicone into the lenses.
In 2012, some NBA players wore lensless glasses with thick plastic frames during post-game interviews, a geek chic trend comparable to Steve Urkel's style.
In 2017, dentists and surgeons in Canada and other countries were required to wear safety glasses to protect against infection from patients' blood or other body fluids.
