Prescription spectacles (An ophthalmic device consisting of a spectacle frame with a pair of optical spectacle lenses (typically made of plastic or glass, also known as eyeglasses) designed to be worn in front of the user's eyes to provide refractive corrections to eyesight conditions such as presbyopia (the eye's diminished power of accommodation that occurs with ageing), or refractive ametropia (myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism). The lenses may be tinted (sunglasses) to protect the eyes from bright light and radiation.)
