Alice and Bob are talking about a tough-to-solve problem. She just can't think of a solution when Bob says he has a plan.
Intrigued, Alice then lowers the glasses she's been wearing down half an inch and looks at Bob. She says something like "Oh really?", then Bob elaborates.
Lowering your glasses while looking at someone during a conversation can signify that the other character has said something that caught your attention.
Keep in mind this isn't the same thing as, The Glasses Come Off or Glasses Pull because in this trope the glasses still stay on the face, they're just lowered a bit under the eyes.
Can also be done for a character to look sly or look confused at an interesting sight. Sometimes this can be seen as a Disapproving Look.

In Fullmetal Alchemist and Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, Maes Hughes has a tendency to look over his glasses at Roy Mustang when he's saying something to suggest that he knows more than he's letting on. Hughes is Mustang's best friend and The Confidant, so he's very much in the loop about what Mustang is really planning most of the time.

Mobile Suit Gundam Wing: Happens a few times in one scene in episode 23 without hands. Duo complains about a news broadcast he's listening to that praises how OZ has been helping the colonies build up their defenses, and states that OZ was responsible for putting the fear of war in the colonies in the first place. When Hilde (who doesn't know him yet) appears in front of him and tells him that's not true, he lets his shades fall and looks up over them at her. The next face shot has then back up as their discussion continues considering he's trying to keep a low profile, then they fall down in surprise when she hands him a paper and suggests he apply to the next OZ military exam. Once she's gone, he pushes them back up in amusement, saying he'll be there.

In The Sandlot, Squints hatched a plan to kiss Wendy, one of the town pool's lifeguards. It works, but gets the entire group banned from the pool forever. Afterwards, narrator Scotty recalls that every time they passed the pool after that, Wendy would lower her sunglasses to look at Squints suspiciously... and smile. Considering she goes on to marry Squints in the "Where Are They Now?" Epilogue, his gambit to get her attention certainly worked!

The opening scene of Barbie (2023) has Barbie slowly lowering her shades to eye the wasteland of girls playing with baby dolls (in a reference to the Monolith of Film/2001ASpaceOdyssey). With her shades lowered, she winks to the girls, who immediately flock to her.
