Glasses are super old 🕰️—way before phones or video games! The first ones showed up in Italy 🇮🇹 over 700 years ago. Benjamin Franklin was a glasses hero 🦸‍♂️ who made the first pair that helped you see far 👀 and close 🔍 at the same time.

Back then, glasses were fancy and only kings 👑 and smart people 🧠 had them. Even though we call them “glasses,” most lenses now are made of special plastic 🛡️ that won’t break!

Sunglasses 🕶️ started as sun blockers ☀️ but became cool fashion too 😎. Famous people like Leonardo da Vinci 🎨 and Elvis Presley 🎤 wore glasses to look smart!

Some glasses help you see near 👓, far 🔭, or both without lines—like magic 🪄! Frames can be metal ⚙️, plastic 🧩, wood 🌳, or super-light carbon fiber 🚀.

People think glasses make you look smart 🦉 and trustworthy—like a brainy superhero 🦸‍♀️. And now there are “smart glasses” 🤖 that show videos and games right in front of your eyes—so cool! 🚀✨
