What did Benjamin Franklin invented to make him a inventor?

A bifocal lens. In the 1780s, Benjamin Franklin invented the first bifocal lenses. This invention was the first of its kind and revolutionized the way people could see. Before bifocals, people with nearsightedness and farsightedness had to carry two separate pairs of glasses, making seeing both up close and far away difficult and inconvenient. With bifocals, users only needed one pair of glasses with two lenses, one for near vision and one for distance. This invention greatly improved the quality of life for people who had difficulty seeing at different distances.
