Spectacles invented in the thirteenth century debated
The article notes that spectacles emerged around the 13th century with claims tied to monk Alessandro di Spina who died in 1313, while Roger Bacon is also linked to early use. It adds that vision peaks at ages ten to fifteen and declines with age, and contrasts eye longevity by color, suggesting blue eyes may outlive brown or hazel.
