Whether you wear them with prescription lenses or plain, as a fashion statement while strolling the city, modern eye-catching glasses can seriously give your look a refresh.
LET'S WALK IN HISTORY OF EYEWEAR
Let’s kick this off with a fun fact about prescription glasses - Seneca, the greatly known stoic philosopher and emperor Nero‘s adviser, was reportedly one of the first people who was sick of being unable to read all the roman books because of his poor sight. So he took a glass globe bowl, filled it with water, put a book behind it and read. We’ll never know if this is actually true or not, but knowing funky Seneca’s side, we do believe he would sat behind a bowl of water reading his beloved books.

But how on earth was this stone used in the Middle Ages, you ask? You would simply put it on top of the letter from your roman pen pal and read the newest gossip about the Constantine VIII.
And what about sunglasses, you may ask? Well, the history of sunglasses started when Roman emperor Nero was fed up with the constant squinting whilst looking at bloody gladiator contests, as you would. So he took a nicely polished emerald stone, held it up at his eyes and there they were – the very first sunglasses In 14th century were sunglasses worn by Chinese judges in courts who were simply worried that the final verdict would be obvious in the sincerity of their eyes. What a cool squad these Chinese judges were!
