It is proven that we get most of our information about the world around us through our eyes.... And if the priceless gift of nature - eyesight - is disturbed, devices are used to correct it. Glasses - a thing so familiar to us today that it is hard to imagine that there was a time when they did not exist ...
Our book will tell you how optical devices evolved from the first spectacles found in Tutankhamun's tomb to modern 3D glasses and high-powered telescopes. You will read about contact lenses, corrective, bifocal, sports, sunglasses, computer glasses... You will learn what is refraction, myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism, presbyopia, adaptation, accommodation... Lorgnettes, monocles, pince-nez, microscopes, binoculars, telescopes, magnifiers - all these optical devices also found a place in this informative book, which will be interesting for both adults and children.
