Purely Aesthetic Glasses	comment	Usually, only people with vision problems go to the trouble of getting a pair of glasses. But sometimes, we have a character who dons a pair of spectacles even though they have perfect eyesight. The Purely Aesthetic Glasses are just there to make the character look smart, sophisticated, scary, sexy and/or cute. However, whether they really do make the wearer smart, sophisticated, and cute is variable. Another possibility is wearing glasses as part of a disguise, to impersonate a glasses-wearing person, or simply as a bit of facial concealment. See also: Glasses Curiosity and Goggles Do Nothing. Contrast Universal Eyeglasses, where the glasses do correct eyesight, but work for anyone, regardless of prescription.

It's later revealed in a flashback this was entirely an affectation; a kid said Sarin (a young, green-haired man wearing a grey hoodie) didn't look anything like a wizard. Sarin's response was to magically grow a (green) mustache, throw on a robe, and pop in a monocle, with the words, "Impaired vision equals smart!"

A bit of Capcom trivia reveals that the glasses are purely aesthetic, as his vision is just fine. Note that Charlie is an Air Force Pilot, and they have to have 20/20 vision. Come Street Fighter V he has them on all the time, and occasionally does the Scary Shiny Glasses thing with them, to help show that he is not the hero that he used to be.

During The Hero of Oaton, Raindrops winds up wearing a pair of glasses, which she doesn't need. They've been magically enchanted so she can read the surface thoughts of those around her. A lesbian pony she runs into thinks they make her look astoundingly cute, too.

Emma then admits that she can see perfectly fine and only wears the frames to look cuter. And because a guy she liked used to wear them.

The same goes for all predecessors down the line (as a Legacy Character, The Phantom has a 400-year-long history) and as none have had particularly bad vision, they've just used fake glasses. Justified in-universe by a legend saying that "Whoever sees the eyes of the phantom must die". Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane, as even the Phantom himself has wondered about how criminals who get a look under his mask tend to have fatal accidents shortly after.

For every troll wearing glasses, there is a dancestor (their Famous Ancestor from an Alternate Universe) that also sports a pair, even if it's just sunglasses. Cronus, Eridan's dancestor, wears no glasses. Eridan is a massive hipster, so he would probably be trying to keep the fashion. Alternatively, Cronus actually needs to wear glasses but doesn't in hopes of maintaining his '50s-style greaser persona.

They're heavily implied (and later outright confirmed in Royal) to be nonfunctional — the description for them in the inventory only says they "make one look smart", and taking them off to fight monsters when dungeon crawling doesn't stop him from reading his phone and various books, firing guns with pinpoint accuracy, or driving a car. In Persona 5: Dancing in Starlight, Futaba seemingly catches on and outright asks if the glasses are fake or not — both of his dialogue options in response are coy nonanswers.

Purely Aesthetic Glasses / int_59da62aa	comment	In Fallout: New Vegas, most glasses do nothing, unless you take the "Four Eyes" trait, which raises your perception with glasses and lowers it without. Fallout 3 averts this - any glasses you wear grant an additional point to damage resistance. In both games, the lucky shades also increase your luck by 1 along with the other effects. Non-unique glasses are weightless, so if you think your character would look better with them, you can wear them without needlessly weighing yourself down. Averted in Old World Blues with the unique glasses from Dr. Klein and Dr. Mobius, which increase your repair skill and your explosives skill respectively.

The lower-leveled one has Intelligence and augments their ability to regain MP. The higher-leveled one has Mind (generally associated with wisdom in the game), elemental magic skill, and improves their spell-casting time. But the amazing thing is that the mortarboards can even make Elvaans look smart! They return in Final Fantasy XIV, again for the Scholar Class. The first one is given as part of a Job quest at around 45, the other is a recolor bought with end game currency. There's also various level one specs that are simply there to make your character look cute, they have no real stats attached to them, unlike the scholar glasses.

Not only that but he'd become associated with a specific style of glasses modeled after military-issue "Birth Control" glasses (so named because no one wearing them will ever get laid)note This was lampshaded during the run of the The Drew Carey Show when he addressed the audience while wearing a slimmer, more stylish pair that he usually wore off-camera before switching to his familiar ones right before the show started. He eventually developed a need for bifocals and started wearing glasses with prescription lenses again.

Purely Aesthetic Glasses / int_998cbda3	comment	Daredevil (2015): Out of universe, Charlie Cox isn't blind, so the pair of red-lens sunglasses he wears to play Matt Murdock are this. In-universe, Matt wears the glasses for the same reason every other blind person wears them: because not wearing them would weird people out regarding his unfocused non-seeing eyes. That said, when he's in the privacy of his apartment, or just around those who are used to his unfocused eyes, like Foggy, Karen, Claire, or Elektra, he'll generally have his glasses off. It's unclear whether or not James Wesley actually needs glasses. He wears them in the majority of his scenes, where they make him look more sociopathic, but there are a couple occasions where he's talking one-on-one with Fisk where he takes them off and he doesn't appear to be squinting.

He's Clark Kenting, but he doesn't have the luxury of changing back and forth at will. They also make him look cuter, which he exploits. He also gets some cool features built into them as time passes, chiefly that they contain the monitor system for his little electronic trackers. When he first grabs a pair in the anime, he punches out the lenses in them so he can actually see, as they originally belonged to someone else, presumably his father, who does need them. Curiously, none of the characters notice the lack of lenses...

Purely Aesthetic Glasses / int_c43df4d8	comment	Doctor Who: The First Doctor had both a pair of Edwardian-style glasses and a monocle that he would occasionally take out when he was trying to look extra clever. The monocle would pop up more often due to him wearing it around his neck as part of his costume in some stories â€” the glasses show up more rarely but are prominent in "An Unearthly Child", including during his first encounter with Ian and Barbara. In at least one scene ("The Rescue"), the Doctor uses both his glasses and his monocle at the same time to study a spiral-bound notebook. The Fourth Doctor has a pair of very small-lensed, dark-tinted glasses which he occasionally wears while tinkering with scientific equipment, inspired by 1930s horror movie Mad Scientists. He also has a black Jeweler's Eye Loupe which he sometimes uses legitimately, but sometimes wears wedged in his eye socket like a monocle, possibly to free up his hands. The mini-episode "Time Crash", where the Doctor teases his own past self for wearing glasses he doesn't need in order to look "a bit clever". Ironically, the Tenth Doctor himself is practically infamous for his use of the brainy specs and later admits his hypocrisy, "Snap!" The fact that the Doctor has worn them in not only their fifth and tenth incarnations but also, at least once in a Tie-In Novel, their eighth, which were their youngest-looking incarnations before Eleven, rather suggests the Doctor might not really need them and just wears them for the extra gravitas. Out of universe, David Tennant (the Tenth Doctor) has said that he wanted to have his Doctor frequently wearing glasses in order to give glasses-wearing kids a heroic role model (ironic, considering that he played an enemy of another hero with glasses). They did once do something; in "Planet of the Dead", when stranded on a desert planet that looked suspiciously like somewhere in the Arabian Peninsula and the Classy Cat-Burglar donned her own regular sunglasses, Ten sonic'd his Purely Aesthetic Glasses into tinted sunglasses. Interestingly, the 2018 novelization of "The Christmas Invasion" indicates that Ten's glasses aren't purely aesthetic after all, suggesting that he's actually slightly farsighted. Eleven has broken out the Brainy Specs on occasion, although they weren't purely aesthetic. The first time, he used a heat vision feature (no, not that kind of heat vision) to try to track Silurians, and the next, he sonicked them and gave them to Rory so Rory could see Amy in two different time periods. In a non-comedic example, the Eleventh Doctor took to wearing reading glasses in series 7. They're actually Amy Pond's reading glasses, and he hangs onto them as a Tragic Keepsake. Played with in that while he doesn't actually need them, he comments that they actually do make reading easier.

When she asks when he got reading glasses, he says he always wore them. She points out she knows they aren't real as she can see the Austin Powers logo. The subplot of "Peternormal Activity" has Brian donning glasses simply to look sophisticated, much to Stewie's chagrin. Stewie makes several attempts to separate them from Brian before ultimately just swinging a bat into his face. In the unaired episode "When You Wish Upon a Weinstein," Peter mentions that he only wears glasses to fool the draft board.
