History Main / OpaqueLenses

* In ''Webcomic/ImpureBlood'', [[http://www.impurebloodwebcomic.com/Pages/Chapter003/ib017.html worn to hide]] Glowing Eyes. [[http://www.impurebloodwebcomic.com/Pages/ISSUE07Pages/ib154.html When they come off, she has to stage]] TheReveal.
* In ''Webcomic/{{Sinfest}}'', [[http://www.sinfest.net/archive_page.php?comicID=2658 Slick, even in Eden]]. The importance is shown [[http://www.sinfest.net/archive_page.php?comicID=2607 when Monique asks him to take them off]], and [[http://www.sinfest.net/archive_page.php?comicID=2608 he reacts]], and [[http://www.sinfest.net/archive_page.php?comicID=2609 she reacts to that.]]

* Dave in ''Webcomic/{{Narbonic}}'', until [[spoiler:he goes mad.]]

* [[LightNovel/HaruhiSuzumiya Yuki Nagato]] has glasses that do this... at least, [[spoiler:until she breaks them defending Kyon from Asakura Ryoko, and he tells her he "doesn't really have a glasses fetish". Thus, she decides to stop wearing them. Haruhi and the {{Muggles}} in the story assume she started wearing contact lenses]].

* [[InvertedTrope Inverted]] by [[spoiler:Koyo Aoba]] in ''Manga/KatekyoHitmanReborn''. Everyone can see his eyes through his glasses perfectly fine, but they're made opaque on the inside in order to [[spoiler:[[PowerIncontinence block]] Koyo's [[DeadlyGaze Killer Point Vision]]]].

* Rei from ''Manga/SangatsuNoLion'' is subject to having opaque lenses half the time, usually to emphasize his meekness. They do clear up when they ''need'' to be seen.

%%* Boss from ''VideoGame/{{Catherine}}''.

* Eggman\Robotnik has these in ''Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog''

* In ''Animation/PleasantGoatAndBigBigWolf'', Mr. Slowy eyes cannot be seen through the lenses of his glasses.

* {{Agnes}} and her grandmother.

%%* Eustace and Muriel from ''WesternAnimation/CourageTheCowardlyDog''. There's also Eustace's mother Ma Bagge.

* [[ComicBook/TheSandman 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.

* Darryl from ''ComicStrip/BabyBlues'' goes back-and-forth on this, sometimes he's drawn so you can't he his eyes but usually is drawn with eyes.

* Hajime's glasses in ''Manga/ICantUnderstandWhatMyHusbandIsSaying'', with the exception of close-ups and the [[HeartwarmingMoments really romantic moments with Kaoru]] (and in one case, a parodied FriendshipMoment with Nozomu). Tanaka's glasses on the other hand are always see-through.

* 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.
* Spiderman installed these into his mask specifically because it unnerves people.

* Darryl from ''ComicStrip/BabyBlues'' goes back-and-forth on this, sometimes he's draw so you can't he his eyes but usually is drawn with eyes.
* Daddy in ''TheFamilyCircus.''

* Eggman\Robotnik has these in ''VideoGame/{{Sonic The Hedgehog}}''

* Parodied in the webcomic ''Real Life'': When Cliff is introduced, he has see-through glasses despite the fact that the only other character in the strip wearing glasses, Dave, had opaque lenses. The very next strip had Cliff asking Dave about this, prompting Dave to reveal that they aren't just glasses, but rather something akin to [[Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration Geordi La Forge's VISOR]].

* Parodied on WesternAnimation/SouthPark with Cartman's police officer outfit. It includes a pair of shades which ALWAYS reflect a mountain sunset, no matter what he is actually looking at.

* Robin ([[LegacyCharacter both of them]]) of WesternAnimation/YoungJustice wears dark sunglasses when in civies to hide his secret identity from his teammates.

* Dave in ''Webcomic/{{Narbonic}}'', until [[spoiler: he goes mad.]]

Often, it's done for RuleOfCool. In many cases, the glasses are only opaque when necessary for dramatic effect. In reality, the opaque effect is due to reflection and refraction of light off the lenses at just the right angle. Quite frequently, this shows up in instances where the lighting of the scene does not plausibly allow for this.
