And so, you should start with the history of this fixtures to improve and correct vision, the monocle was first used in the 14th century, the eyepiece had a rim and a long pen, which was held in the hand and, when reading, was pointed at the text or pressed to the eye socket. In the 16th century, the design was improved and the monocle was in the usual frame, and to hold it while reading it was simply pinched in the eye socket by the muscular parts of the face.
