How do you switch a prescription for glasses to contacts?

You don't. The optometrist has to do a contact lens evaluation and fitting. Contact lenses Rx's are done separately,not to be mistaken for routine exam. Most insurances don't cover contact lens fittings. Contact lenses do not mean you can wear an old pair of glasses as backup. You will need a good pair of glasses with current Rx properly fitted. Contact lens Rx is good for one year to the day and glasses Rx is good for two years to the day.

Why did benjamin franklin invent bifocal glasses?

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.

Why is a pair of glasses a pair if its only one?

When you say "glasses", it is plural. A "glass" is one of the lenses. "Glasses" would refer to both of the lenses, and a "pair of glasses" doesn't mention anything about the frame, but it mentions the two lenses. The frame is the object that joins the two lenses so you don't have to wear contacts and so it can stay on your head. When you say "a pair of glasses", you are referring to the "pair of lenses", not the frame. The frame holding the two lenses makes us think that it is one object, when the word "glasses" refers only to the lenses, not the frame. That is why it is called "a pair of glasses".
