Come take a look at the new weekly display that we have! Vintage glasses!

Fun facts:

People didn’t just have one pair. They had different glasses for different distances, and switching them was… a whole performance.
Bifocals technically existed (thanks to Benjamin Franklin flexing centuries earlier), but they weren’t as common or comfortable yet. So a lot of people carried multiple pairs:
one for reading
one for distance
sometimes even a third for “intermediate” stuff.
Also, fun detail:
Round wire frames were super popular not because of fashion, but because they were easier and cheaper to make. Fancy shapes meant more work, and back then lenses were hand-ground, so yeah… circles were the lazy genius solution.
