Design[edit]
PANTO refers to pantoscopic[4], a light angle in which the front of the eyeglasses is tilted forward to get the maximum visual effect and a wide-angle view. Panto glasses are rounded but not circular glasses.[5][6] [7]The glasses have simple curves.[8][9] The glasses have high hinges that are slightly protruding, accompanied by a full base.[10]
History[edit]
The origin of the Panto glasses is from the 1930s. In England, they were widely used as National Health Service (NHS)[11] eyewear until the 1960s.[12] [13] From the 1960S to the 1980S, The Panto glasses shape was largely associated with a free lifestyle.[14][15] This was when students, musicians, and radicals dominated the use of panto.[16] In 2010 the panto regained and developed some popularity after a few decades when the model was more or less absent in the market.
