What are Eyeglasses?

Eyeglasses are a device used to correct eyesight or protect the eyes. Eyeglasses are made up of lenses and frames, a material design that sits on the bridge of the nose in order to keep the lenses in front of the eyes.

The purpose of eyeglasses is to use differing levels of magnification to correct oddities, issues, and flaws in the wearer's vision. Eyeglasses contain levels of magnification inside the lenses that, for instance, help a wearer who sees objects in the distance or up close as an unfocused blur to reflect and see that same object clearly.
