Old specs worth the search from early American eyewear
A California optometrist notes spectacles were rare and costly in colonial times, often priced around 200 dollars and used mainly as reading aids. He traces early eyewear to London makers with crude steel frames, long loops, and head ties to secure them under wigs, detailing design flaws and evolution by the late 18th century.
