They're not coke-bottle glasses he's wearing, they're paperweights in a frame. Glasses in Comics, Manga and animated media usually come in four forms — there are tiny little things that don't get in the way (see Cool Mask), so-clear-they're-almost-not-there spectacles worn by pretty girls (a.k.a. meganekko) and handsome boys, lenses meant to hide the character's eyes from anyone who wants to get a glimpse at their soul (Scary Shiny Glasses), and then there are Opaque Nerd Glasses. Opaque Nerd Glasses are two 4-inch disks that hide the wearer's eyes behind blank white circles, that can be marked either with thin black spiraling lines, or, in the western variant, small or hazy dots denoting pupils. In some cases, the person's eyes will stay as tiny black dots even when the glasses are taken off, possibly to indicate how bad their eyesight is, or to make them look naked without their iconic glasses. They indicate that a character is painfully geeky, and is probably Blind Without 'Em. Female characters with Opaque Nerd Glasses often reveal that they were Beautiful All Along upon their removal. Male characters may be The Short Guy with Glasses. This trope is found more often in comedy than in drama. Subtrope of Nerd Glasses. Contrast with Meganekko. See also Opaque Lenses. Opaque Nerd Glasses often play a part in the Unwanted Glasses Plot. Examples |

Goseng from Tower of God has such glasses. She has an unusual look for the context — few people in the Tower wear glasses at all, possibly because they're always improving themselves with Shinsu, and they're a part of how she's drawn a bit more simply than other characters. The glasses also highlight how she's unusually ordinary for a Regular climbing the Tower, not exactly a superhuman powerhouse. | |

Ginnosuke from Tokyo Underground is a good example, with thick glasses complete with spirals. When he loses them for a short time, the main character (a longtime friend) doesn't even recognize him, and a few girls find him quite attractive. Chelsea, one of the other main characters, can never remember his name and defaults to "Megane-kun". He's also a rather proficient computer hacker, and ironically fights better with the glasses off. | |

Mousse from Ranma ½ is an odd case: He has the glasses, but he's not a nerd. He is, however, an obsessive Stalker with a Crush with no common sense. He's Blind Without 'Em, yet never puts them on until after he has, for example, spent five minutes talking to a tree under the assumption that it's actually Shampoo. He also has a habit of taking them off to attempt something dramatic, then doing something stupid because he can't see. And even when turning into a duck, he still wear a pair of duck-sized Nerd Glasses. | |

Live Powerful Pro Baseball has the recurring Butt-Monkey Akio Yabe, the primary sidekick of the main character. Throughout the series he gets at least four identical strangers who wear the same gigantic glasses and an extended family of half-brothers who are vaguely distinguished by some kind of mark on the face, facial hair or the shape of their glasses. | |

Arara Cocoa from the Lamune & 40 series, though this is mostly in the TV series as she doesn't wear them in later installments of the series. The joke was later carried over into Cyber Team in Akihabara (produced by the same staff) with Cocoa's sorta-expy Miyama Soshigaya/Death Crow, who happens to share the same seiyuu as Cocoa, but not the same personality. |

The Muppet Show Scooter has thick glasses with his eyes on the lenses. His eyes are on his glasses, not his face. His Distaff Counterpart Skeeter has an identical pair on Muppet Babies. At the other end of the spectrum, Dr. Bunsen Honeydew has no eyes at all behind his glasses, which gives the effect of Opaque Lenses, even though the frames are empty. |

Jade and John in Homestuck both sport some. John's are rectangular spectacles, though they can be hard to see because the bridge isn't often drawn; Jade's are big and round. Several other characters also wear glasses, but the nerdiness of them are debatable: Sollux fits the nerdy archetype well, being an extremely good computer programmer, but his red-and-blue Cool Shades are used more to cover up his bizarre color-changing eyes than denote nerdiness; Vriska's big lenses match those requirements, but her personality really doesn't fit. | |

In Super Robot Wars Original Generation, Latooni wears these to begin with. But their size is actually functional, as they're used to help her collect an analyze data. When she finds herself undergoing a dramatic shift in appearance, she loses them altogether. In the remake for the Playstation 2, she is instead given a pair of Meganekko glasses. This was parodied (foreshadowed?) in a Yonkoma where several characters tried to get Ryusei to talk her into putting the glasses back on. | |

Arthur. Like Scooter on The Muppet Show, the title character's eyes are his glasses—the lenses are all white, with dots in them for his pupils. Most other characters end up this way when they end up wearing glasses. In earlier flashback episodes, his eyes sans spectacles were the same as everyone else's, but they soon gave him Peanuts-style floating dots instead. | |

Super Mario Bros.: Some characters from the games have nerd glasses, such as Iggy Koopa, Professor E. Gadd from Luigi's Mansion and Professor Frankly from Paper Mario. These characters usually look (and sometimes sound) more Japanese than the others. A few background characters in the Super Mario Adventures comic have these. All Magikoopas wear these as well. Fawful from the Mario & Luigi games sports these glasses, complete with spirals and crazy grin. |

In The Prince of Tennis, characters like Sadaharu Inui and Hiroshi Yagyuu wear thick glasses that hide their eyes from sight (though Yagyuu's glasses are more Meganekko-type). In fact, a running gag in the anime is to have Inui's teammates and friends attempting to to take his glasses off and see his eyes. | |

Pokémon: Chobin in Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness has googly glasses, which are apparently essential to his functioning. Clemont in Pokémon X and Y. Interestingly, this is abandoned in the anime in favor of the occasional Scary Shiny Glasses. The Cosplay Pikachu in the Omega and Alpha remakes of Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire dons these in her PhD costume. Blipbug, introduced in Pokémon Sword and Shield has eyes without pupils that are pretty clearly based on this trope as part of its bookworm aesthetic. |

Professor Farnsworth in Futurama has a pair of Nerd Glasses, and indeed his eyes are never seen in the series. Subverted in one episode where he needed his "reading glasses" — and put on a pair several times thicker than his already fairly enormous glasses (to the point that they looked like glass cylinders). At least somewhat of a Justified Trope: Professor Farnsworth is 160 years old. Anyone's vision would become pretty bad by that age. | |

Naru Narusegawa in her "nerd mode" in Love Hina. However, once Naru has obviously become the love interest in the story, The Glasses Gotta Go — and when they are seen afterward, they are no longer opaque and spiralled, but simple clear Meganekko circles. Also, in the manga, she gives her Opaque Nerd Glasses to Shinobu as a "good luck" token when the younger girl is taking exams; later, Motoko uses them for the same purpose while studying to get into Tokyo U. | |

Lucca from Chrono Trigger has these, but actually manages to be attractive despite it. Really, she's got the transparent Meganekko glasses — you can see this in all the official art and animations, as well as her character information screen. They're just opaque in-game because of sprite limitations — it's hard to denote "glasses" without them being opaque when the lenses need to be only two or three pixels wide. | |

Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Greg's mom is almost always drawn with these types of glasses. Without them, her eyes are black dots just like everyone else's. | |

Sheldon Klutzberry on the The Replacements wears glasses that are so thick and heavy they cripple his posture and pinch his nose making him sound like Jerry Lewis. And yes, when he takes them off, he unwillingly turns into a middle-school hunk. | |

Carly from Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds wears a pair of large spiral glasses, although they're seen through on occasion. Once, when they fall off, she's seen with lines for eyes, but when Misty removes them in a later episode, her eyes are normal, and actually quite attractive. She loses them after Divine murders her. Well, they wouldn't really go with the Superpowered Evil Side that came with the resurrection. After Episode 59, they were all that was left of her... Fortunately, as the heroes have Deus ex Machina on their side, Death is Cheap. | |

The joke was later carried over into Cyber Team in Akihabara (produced by the same staff) with Cocoa's sorta-expy Miyama Soshigaya/Death Crow, who happens to share the same seiyuu as Cocoa, but not the same personality. | |

One episode of Kids Incorporated has Renee getting several pairs of glasses. We see her Opaque Nerd Glasses, and it is mentioned that she has two other colours and also wears contacts for concerts. Kudos to them for at least mentioning the colour variety. | |

Ping from MegaTokyo starts wearing these in an effort to look Hollywood Homely and fit in with the jealous girls of her class. To her horror it pretty much ends up as meganekko, no matter how nerdy the glasses. | |

An early example of this is Poindexter from the old Felix the Cat show. He not only wears nerd glasses but he also wears a lab coat and a graduation cap and mortarboard. | |

In the anime version of Urusei Yatsura, the first New Year's Special has Momotaro, a legendary Japanese hero, wearing a set of these. In fact, he looks a lot like a somewhat younger Mousse. | |

The Tonight Show: Ernie Kovacs' oddball poet character Percy Dovetonsils wears glasses with insanely thick lenses. The Character originated on Ernie Kovac's own show "Three to Get Ready" which had appeared on local TV station WPTZ (now KYW-TV) in Philadelphia in 1950. | |

Franz Hopper of Code Lyoko. Okay, so Jérémie Belpois is pretty unfortunate in the eyewear department as well, but at least we can still see his eyes. | |

In The Wallflower, Kyohei wears these when he really needs to study for an exam, which distresses his fangirls as the glasses make him look much less Bishōnen than usual. | |

Clemont in Pokémon X and Y. Interestingly, this is abandoned in the anime in favor of the occasional Scary Shiny Glasses. | |

Princess Dia from Sailor Moon. In the manga, this leads the girls to speculate how another nerd, Umino, might look without his own ever-present Opaque Nerd Glasses. Word of God states that yes, Umino is completely Bishōnen without them. | |
