Reading
1 Read the article about the technology of glasses.

Seeing clearly
Do you wear glasses or contact lenses to help you see things more clearly? If you do, it means that you are either
myopic (shortsighted) or hyperopic (longsighted). 1 In contrast, people with hyperopia can clearly see
things that are far away but would struggle to read something close up without the help of their glasses or contact
lenses.
We don’t know who invented the first pair of wearable glasses. We do, however, know that the Romans invented
glass, and historians generally agree that they also discovered that using glass to magnify things could improve
vision. 2 It was the 11th-century Arab scholar, mathematician and astronomer Ibn al-Haytham who first
suggested that a piece of glass, smoothed in a particular way, could help people with their vision. 3
Ibn al-Haytham is often considered to be ‘the father of modern optics’.
The earliest pair of known ‘vision correctors’ based on Ibn al-Haytham’s idea date from the 13th century.
4 People would then hold this in front of their eyes in order to see things more clearly. By the
14th century, Venetian glassmakers were making ‘disks for the eyes’, but it wasn’t until the 18th century that
wearable glasses became more commonplace.
Throughout the 20th century, advances in lens production continued and new technology meant that glasses’
frames and lenses could be made with nonbreakable plastics. At the same time, new equipment was being
developed which allowed opticians to check people’s eyes more accurately. By the middle of the 20th century,
another option for treatment of poor vision became available. 5 Today, there are various ways that this
surgery can be done, one of which uses laser technology.
Unfortunately, millions of people around the world have problems with their vision and for many, access to glasses,
let alone eye surgery, is impossible. Shortsightedness is more common than long-sightedness and some
researchers have suggested that, by 2050, almost half the world’s population will be shortsighted. 6
One charity estimates that we lose two-hundred-billion dollars’ worth of productivity every year because people
simply can’t see well enough to do their jobs effectively.

2 Complete the Exam Task.

Exam TASK
Six sentences have been removed from the text. Choose from the sentences A–G the one which fits each gap
(1–6). There is one extra sentence which you do not need to use.
A Blown-glass was set into a frame made either of wood or leather and it had a handle on the side.
B If you can’t see properly, it’s likely that you are going to struggle in education and at work.
C People with myopia find it difficult to clearly see things that are far away.
D It’s the difference between shortsightedness and longsightedness.
E He wrote a book on the subject, which was translated into Latin, and his ideas spread throughout Europe.
F If a piece of curved glass is held in front of small text, the text appears bigger.
G If you chose, you could have an operation on your eyes that would correct your vision.
