A monocle is a single lens contained within a decorated rim and held in place between the brow ridge and the cheekbone or suspended with one hand. They became very popular, starting in the eighteenth century as “quizzing glasses”. A monocle, being only a single lens, can at most correct the vision in one eye at a time. Yet virtually all monocle users require optical correction in both eyes. What good does it do to only correct one side and ignore the other? Wouldn’t this make one’s vision “unequal”? And why was this device so popular with the wealthy and powerful?
