In fact, the emergence of the first frame is much later than eyeglass. The data has showed that there is no frame in the original eyeglasses and people use hands to hold the glass while using.

How Long Have Prescription Eyeglasses Been Around?
From documents that were retrieved in Rome in the 13th Century, we know that prescription eyeglasses were available at that time. They were referred to as “spectacles” rather than glasses.
