Gandhi’s Iconic Eyeglasses consisted of metal wired frames with round lenses and a single bridge.
These spectacles were bought by him for the very first time in the year 1890 in London when he went there to study law.
The sheer simplicity of the metal frame, combined with how they were one of the more popular choices at the time, were probably the factors that made him decide to buy these glasses.
As he eventually became a prolific activist, the glasses became an icon with which Gandhi was inseparably associated with.
However, not every frame with perfectly round circle lenses qualifies as a pair of Gandhi style glasses. The specifications are quite unique as they must have round frames made out of metal wire, and not the frames which are now made out of acetate.
