USA

As is well known, after World War II, the United States saw significant improvements in various industrial technologies and people's living standards. And glasses, which used to symbolize wealth and knowledge, only became popular among the general public after World War II due to the maturity of plastic processing technology.

In the 1950s, the United States ushered in the golden age of glasses, with a variety of eyewear designs emerging. Among so many eyewear Frames, the Wellington frame (a nearly golden ratio frame) born in 1948, the pilot series glasses designed for the United States Air Force, their unique metal double bridge nose frame design, and teardrop shaped lens styles, are also a timeless existence.

France

Compared with the glasses of the golden age of American glasses, French glasses are more unique and personalized. When it comes to French glasses, its exclusive French Vintage frame has always been a style sought after by many fans of hand-made glasses. Among them, the Crown Panto frame we often talk about is the representative of French Vintage.

UK

In fact, after World War II, eyewear design flourished in both the United States and France. However, the UK did not actively introduce trendy styles like they did. Instead, the NHS (National Medical Service) was established in 1948 and free glasses were provided to the public. The glasses distributed by the NHS are designed in simple and functional styles, which are much more low-key compared to eyewear styles in the United States and France. The conservative black frame design was a very common eyewear style of that era. At the same time, there are also Windsor glasses with an oval metal frame, which is simple in style. The thin oval frame is combined with a padded saddle bridge and curved legs, without any carved decorations.
