* ''Film/JurassicPark'':
** In [[Film/JurassicPark1993 the first film]], Ellie Sattler has a pair on for a portion of the film (upon first arriving at the visitor center, watching the raptors feeding, and then the lunch table discussion). She doesn't wear them at any other point before or afterwards, nor in the sequels.
** In ''Film/JurassicWorldFallenKingdom'', Franklin and Zia both wear glasses but eventually lose them in the midst of all the action. Neither has any problem seeing things without them, though.



* In ''Series/TheBigBangTheory'', Penny gets jealous when one of Leonard's coworkers hits on him. To compensate for the fact that the other girl is very intelligent, Penny gets glasses so she can look smart. It works QUITE well on Leonard.

* ''VideoGame/XenobladeChronicles1'' has several pairs of glasses for characters who don't start out with them (Shulk has a pair of googles [[GogglesDoNothing but never uses them]]), but most of them have some [[SocketedEquipement already pre-socketed gems]] on them, leading to players wanting to wear them. [[VideoGameRemake Definitive Edition]] adds in unique glasses models for each character locked behind [[TimeTrial Time Attack]] and a cosmetic override feature, letting players give all characters glasses immediately after finding their first pair.
