The first glasses (Middle Ages)
The invention of glasses, or better than slow to see better, it dates back to the Middle Ages, as evidenced by the fresco dated 1352 that you see reported in the photo, even if the first biconvex lenses they had already been created in Pisa in 1286.
Until then, therefore, in the eras prior to the Middle Ages, for the most common vision problems, myopia and presbyopia, there was no remedy and one had to learn to live with them.
As you can see by looking at the fresco, the lenses were placed directly on the nose and did not yet have temples lateral, which would arrive much later, in 1727.
