It has been proven that we receive most of the information about the world around us through our eyes... And if the priceless gift of nature — vision — is impaired, devices for its correction are used. Glasses are such a familiar thing to us today that it is hard to imagine that there was a time when they did not exist...

The book will tell you how optical devices evolved from the first glasses found in the tomb of Tutankhamun to modern 3D glasses and super-powerful telescopes. You will read about contact lenses, corrective, bifocal, sports, sunglasses, computer glasses... You will learn what refraction, myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism, presbyopia, adaptation, accommodation are... Lorgnettes, monocles, pince-nez, microscopes, binoculars, telescopes, magnifying glasses — all these optical devices also found a place in this educational book, which will be interesting for both adults and children.
