Some were worn as eye protection from the elements. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eI have seen these glasses with four lenses called \"railroad glasses\" or \"carriage glasses\", as they may have been worn to protect the eyes from dirt and debris when riding in a carriage or on a train. An early form of goggles, in a sense, giving the eyes protection from multiple angles. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThese gorgeous green tinted eyeglasses date from the mid-later 19th century.
