The Eyes Have It (Glasses)
Description
Our near-sighted ancestors had to make do with lorgnettes, monocles, and Coke-bottle lenses. Today, wearing glasses can be fashionable and fun. Ever since the classic rhinestone cat-eyes from the '50s, designs have gone crazy. Spectacles range from John Lennon's singular style to Elton John's vast collection with one thing in common: the lenses are light and comfortable.
