There has been much discussion as to the origin of glasses and contact lenses, but they are generally believed to have been known at a period much earlier than that of Salvino degli Armati. The Romans at least must have known something of the art of supplementing the powers of the eye, for Pliny tells us that Nero used to watch the games in the Colosseum through a concave gem, set for that purpose in a ring. If, however, his contemporaries believed that Salvino of the Armati was the first to produce these aids to vision, they might well have prayed for the pardon of his sins.
