Hi I`m Ruthann and for the next couple of weeks I will be blogging about the Geography of Glasses.
The creation of glasses came about years ago around 1268 in Germany. However the notion of glasses dates further back around the time of Emperor Nero whose tutor used globes filled with water or of pure glass to magnify the words form books. "Letters, however small and indistinct, are seen enlarged and more clearly through a globe or glass filled with water" was said by Seneca the tutor of Nero.
Glasses can have many purposes such as sun glasses which are used to protect your eyes from sunlight. Safety glasses in science are used to protect our eyes from dangerous chemicals and other potential harm. There also corrective glasses which are the most commonly worn. In this blog will posting on how glasses got to the level they are at today. I will explain why the materials used to make glasses are used.
