Kerékszett

Kerékszett is a Hungarian term referring to eyeglasses or spectacles. These optical devices are used to correct vision impairments such as myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism, or presbyopia. They typically consist of lenses mounted in a frame that holds them in place before the eyes, with additional components like nose pieces and earpieces (temples) for stability. Historically, eyeglasses have evolved from early medieval spectacles to modern prescription lenses and various frame designs, reflecting advancements in optics and fashion. In Hungarian culture, kerékszett is commonly used to describe both corrective eyewear and decorative glasses, though the primary functional role remains vision correction. The term is part of the broader vocabulary related to eye care and optical instruments.
