This document traces the evolution of eyeglasses and vision correction technologies from the first eyeglasses in 1000 AD to modern innovations like Google Glass and the potential for contact lenses with integrated semiconductor devices. Key developments include Benjamin Franklin using bifocal glasses in 1784, George Airy creating the first lens to correct astigmatism in 1825, and the introduction of Google Glass in the 21st century. The document speculates that future contact lenses may have medical, wireless, and augmented reality applications and could potentially enhance human vision, memory, and access to information.
