Medieval Glasses - Credit goes to History Blog

There’s a great post over at History blog on the history of eyeglasses. History blog posts a new mini history lesson each week, and this week they chose glasses. So, if you were ever curious who invented glasses first, or when sunglasses were first developed (hint: they’re not that old!), head on over to The History of Eyeglasses.

As a semi-related note, if you’re interested in getting some real, authentic vintage glasses, Ed Welch is your man.
