Eyeglassès, also called glasses or spectacles, can be made from either glass or plastic lenses. Eyeglasses have a rich history dating back to the ancient Egypt, immortalised in hieroglyphics discovered by historians. Artisans at a number of workshops in Old Dhaka make glass lenses for spectacles by band. Depending on power, a lens can cost between Tk 300 and Tk 4,000. An artisan make around Tk 3,800 to Tk 4,500 per week. Glass lens makers are fighting to survive their competition with the plastic lens workshops.
