Eyeglasses have been around for centuries, though they were not really needed by anyone other than scholars. Once literature became more widely available, the demand for eyeglasses grew. Eyeglasses protect our eyes from further damage while helping to cope with the damage that already exists.

National Eyewear Day is celebrated on June 6th.

National Eyewear Day was founded by Zyloware in 2016 to celebrate the many styles and functions of eyeglasses and sunglasses.
