There is really no distinction to be made between reading glasses used to treat presbyopia and eyeglasses used to treat hyperopia (farsightedness). Both conditions require convex lenses, and convex lenses were the first lenses to be invented.
Anyway, it seems they were used around 5 BC, but not so much as eyeglasses. The first eye correction used was in the form of small globes filled with water, while royalty used precious stones to help them see. More practical eyeglasses didn't appear until the 1200's in Italy. Bifocals were invented sometime in the 1700's, and Benjamin Franklin in the US was one of the inventors.
