Opticianry

It is said that eyeglasses were invented by Bacon towards the end of the 13th century. According to this story, Bacon informed his friend Goethal about his invention. During a trip to Italy, he revealed this secret to Spina, a priest from Pisa, and a Florentine named Salvato d’Amarti spread the use of eyeglasses. Historical documents agree that eyeglasses were used in the last twenty years of the 13th century. By the middle of the 14th century, eyeglasses had become very widespread.

Due to the developing level of society, new retail companies have started to be established in parallel with the increase in demand for glasses, and wholesale sellers of glasses lenses and frames have been formed in the sector, all segments of which are completely based on imports. The renewal and development in all aspects of the sector started after the 1980s, and a great stage was recorded with the effort to move every layer of the sector from production to retail and laboratory working level to the level of advanced countries.
