  8. Eyeglasses in Colonial America

    So I've decided to combine my love of Colonial history with my love for glasses. Anyone know anything about such things? (besides the obvious Ben Franklin bifocal stuff) I'm particularly interested in how the lenses and frames were constructed at that time.

    My prescription is -4 and -3.50 diopters with a cylindrical of -.50 on each. I plan on buying a plastic frame from zenni. Should I even bother upgrading to a 1.59 lens or is 1.57 and 1.59 barely noticeable in thickness? I'm almost certain my current lenses are 1.61.
