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.
