Glasses ...He invented Bifocals .
Bifocals are important for those with impaired vision, so they can see both far and near without taking off their glasses or switching them. They were invented by Benjamin Franklin in 1700â??s.
Bifocals are a type of prescription eyeglasses designed for people who need both near and farsighted vision correction. Different from single vision lenses, bifocals have two corrective lenses on each side of a pair of glasses, for a total of four lenses per pair.
Because he needed them himself. Both his distant vision and his near vision were becoming weaker. He invented bifocals because he was tired of swapping from his reading glasses to his "looking out the window" glasses. He wanted something that combined both of them. To create bifocals, he put half of the lens from his "looking out the window" glasses in the top half of the eyeglass frame, and then half of the lens from his reading glasses into the bottom half of the frames. The combined form became popular and helpful to many people. Of course, he later used shortened versions of these lenses that worked even better. People who are both far-sighted and near-sighted only need one pair of glasses.
The inventor of bifocals is Benjamin Franklin. The word can be separated into two parts to understand better. Bi meaning 2, focal meaning to focus. He wanted to be able to see farther away and also be able to read with out switching glasses. top half of the lenses are for nearsightedness to see at a distance, the bottom for reading. so when you look down at your book or paper you wont have to switch glasses or carry around 2 pairs
