Exploring Eyeglasses Of Today and Yesterday

Hi, I'm Loni Traeger. Welcome to my website. I want to explore the evolution of eyeglasses over the years. Each decade is marked by a particular frame design favored in that era. Furthermore, the lenses have changed a number of times over the years thanks to technological advancements. Eyeglasses made today offer a stronger prescription without the weight or material thickness. Lens thicknesses may even continue to decrease as manufacturers find ways to correct vision with less material. I hope to follow these advancements closely while discussing past eyeglass iterations. You can follow along with my discoveries to learn more about this subject. I hope you come by my site daily to explore eyeglasses with me. Thanks for visiting.
