The first bifocals, attributed to Benjamin Franklin in the late 18th century, were made using lenses that combined two different optical prescriptions in one frame. These lenses were typically crafted from glass, with the upper portion for distance vision and the lower part for reading. The design allowed wearers to switch between prescriptions without needing to change glasses.
