* ''Manga/OnePiece'': Bartholomew Kuma wears glasses which obscure his eyes all the time in the present day. This represents that he's a cyborg who is eventually losing his humanity and they also hide the fact that his eyes are cybernetic. By the time of the Marineford arc, he's lost all of his human will. During the Egghead arc, throughout the flashbacks revolving around Kuma, his eyes are visible through his glasses several times, showing the humanity that he had in the past.

* Boss from ''VideoGame/{{Catherine}}''.
* Averted in ''VideoGame/MassEffect1''. Most early promotional materials and demo videos showed that whenever Shepard and his/her squadmates have their helmets on the visors were reflective and hid the top half their faces. In the final game, the visors are generally clear with the exception of some areas where lighting is poor and their faces can clearly be seen.

Blinding Bangs is no longer a trope. Moving examples to other tropes when applicable.


* ''WebComic/LottaSvardWomenOfWar'': Tyyne's father is always seen with rectangular glasses with solid white lenses, which both complements his daughter's BlindingBangs and fits his slightly impersonal attitude toward the rest of the characters (including his own family).

* In ''ComicBook/TheSandman'' [[SerialKiller The Corinthian's]] shades might be these on occasion, depending on the artist. They're either SunglassesAtNight drawn in fairly realistic style to hide his teeth-eyes, or stylised black circles on his face that hide his eyes entirely.
* The original Ventriloquist in ''Franchise/{{Batman}}'' comics, ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries'' and ''WesternAnimation/TheBatman''. The intent combined with his bald head and inexpressive mouth seems to be to make him as much TheBlank as possible without it looking odd; ''[[DemonicDummy Scarface]]'' is the character who emotes.
* Comicbook/SpiderMan installed these into his mask specifically because it unnerves people.
* The "lenses" of Comicbook/{{Daredevil}}'s mask are just for show. Since he's blind any eyeholes would be pointless anyway.
* Kevin from ''Comicbook/SinCity'' is drawn with these pretty much all the time. The solid white lenses are an iconic part of his character.
* Phil Coulson, in ''ComicBook/UltimateFF'' (set in the ComicBook/UltimateMarvel continuity, not the main one). He is never seen without them.

%%* Tedd from ''Webcomic/ElGoonishShive.''



* In ''Webcomic/ElGoonishShive'', unlike every other character who wears glasses, Mr. Verres' eyes have never been seen since he's always shown wearing these type of glasses and unlike his son's, the reason for the opaqueness of Mr. Verres' glasses have never been explained.

* In ''Webcomic/ElGoonishShive'', unlike every other character who wears glasses, ''Webcomic/ElGoonishShive'':
** Tedd has a justified example, with a [[GogglesDoSomethingUnusual pair of high-tech glasses]] from his father's [[TheMenInBlack government job]] that have features like video recording and a (since removed) XRayVision mode. He originally wore them everywhere because he was insecure about [[DudeLooksLikeALady his face]], but he eventually stopped wearing them after becoming more comfortable with his appearance. Also averted when he gets [[https://www.egscomics.com/comic/party-085 actual prescription glasses]], which are not opaque.[[note]][[ItMakesSenseInContext Tedd is a girl in the linked page.]][[/note]]
