To frame or not to frame – P. 11

Not so long ago, those wearing glasses were perceived as being flawed and prone to ridicule… We only need to mention the awesome Marilyn Monroe in her memorable film “How to marry a millionaire” to “remember” with a smile the period in time when laser and contact lenses did not exist.
