* Subverted in StarKidPotter's ''MeAndMyDick'', Joey takes down Sally's hair and attempts to remove her glasses only to have her go cross-eyed.

* ''{{Ouran High School Host Club}}'' does this when Tamaki first removes Haruhi's glasses, revealing her large, bishonen-style eyes.

Flashbacks reveal that she only recently wore the glasses in the first place and normally wore contacts -- the glasses were only a temporary thing anyway.

* A one-time character in the SailorMoon manga looks absolutely stunning when her glasses are knocked off - but since she can't a thing without them, she immediately starts groping around the floor looking for them. Usagi then starts wondering if Umino's appearance would improve as dramatically if he took his glasses off. [[spoiler:[[WordOfGod According to]] NaokoTakeuchi, it would.]]
