Bifocals were invented by Benjamin Franklin to address his age-related presbyopia, a condition where focusing on close objects becomes difficult due to the natural aging process of the eye. By combining lenses for distant and near vision in one frame, bifocals enabled users to see clearly at different distances without needing to switch glasses.
Bifocals have evolved with advancements in technology and materials. Modern bifocals are available in more styles, materials, and designs to cater to individual preferences and needs, such as progressive lenses that offer a seamless transition between different prescriptions. Additionally, developments in lens coatings and anti-reflective treatments have improved clarity and comfort for wearers.
