At some point in Italy, between 1268 and 1289, someone came up with the idea, but the actual inventor remains anonymous.

Though doubt exists as to the actual inventor, all prototypes were probably invented in Italy late in the thirteenth century, where Alessandro di Spina and others were given credit for the first eyeglasses.

The use of eyeglasses was depicted in several artworks created in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, giving credence to the existence of spectacles during this period.
The first eyeglasses were made in Italy at about 1286.

And the first lenses for correcting astigmatism were constructed by the British astronomer George Airy in 1825.
They were invented in 1286
