SmartGlasses? Also, pulling a few examples from ''TheUrkel'':

* Tucker on ''DannyPhantom'' is a tech genius and wears glasses.
* Cookie from ''NedsDeclassifiedSchoolSurvivalGuide''.
* The one and only [[TheUrkel Steve Urkel]] himself, from ''FamilyMatters''.

Aaaand plugging some of my favorite shows:

* A weird example as it's something of an informed trait: scientist Bennett on ''{{Dollhouse}}'' wears, as [[GeniusBreedingAct Topher]] so gleefully puts it, "glasses. On a chain!" She's apparently far-sighted because she only wears them when looking at computer screens.
* Garcia, a computer genius, and her boyfriend Kevin Lynch both wear glasses. Though he apparently switched to contacts, flashbacks to Reid's youth in ''CriminalMinds'' shows that he had some of the largest glasses any child has ever worn, ever.

Also, skimming NerdGlasses reveals that many of the examples don't actually fit what the trope is talking about. The trope needs a cleanup.

EDIT: In retrospect, I can think of more examples off the top of my head.

* [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Brainy Smurf]] from ''TheSmurfs''.
* ''BuffyTheVampireSlayer'': Giles, while not the resident genius, is the resident MrExposition. (You decide if he counts).
* Liberty, Toby, and Claire on ''DegrassiTheNextGeneration''. Actually, if a character wears glasses on that show, it's almost a given that they're intelligent.

I'll add more as I think of them.
