Best Answer

Nuremberg style glasses were made throughout the 17th century. That is likely what would be worn.

The oldest known representation of eyeglasses was painted by Tommaso da Modena in 1352, added as a sign of old age and scholarship.

Due to Gutenberg's invention of the printing press around 1450, glasses were already used by artisans as well as monks and other religious scholars. By 1600, spectacle peddlers were a common sight on the streets of Western Europe.
