Basic Trope: A nice girl with glasses who looks best with them on.

  • Straight: Millie is a Gamer Chick who wears glasses, has a sweet and innocent personality, and gets lots of attention from guys while she does. But when The Glasses Come Off, everyone stops noticing her.
  • Exaggerated:
    • Millie makes everyone fall for her when she wears glasses, including the girls.
    • Every girl at school wears glasses and gets lots of attention. When they remove them, they stop getting noticed.
  • Downplayed: Taking off her glasses only slightly hurts Millie's appeal.
  • Justified:
    • Millie has very ugly eyes, and her glasses help make up for that.
    • Everyone around Millie has a glasses fetish.
    • Millie has poor eyesight and just happens to be cute and innocent.
  • Inverted: The Glasses Gotta Go. Millie looks hotter without her glasses than she does with.
  • Subverted: Millie looks good with her glasses, but she looks better without them on.
  • Double Subverted:
    • ...but she either prefers to wear her glasses, or someone she likes is a glasses fetishist.
    • Alternatively, she has a special prescription lens that does not lend itself to contacts or surgery.
  • Parodied:
    • Millie is confused for a boy when she wears glasses.
    • As a Play for Laughs, she will fawn over her glasses like someone Gushing About Shows You Like, or she will actually try to masturbate with her glasses!
    • When she removes her glasses, Millie turns into a hideous monster for some inexplicable reason.
    • She turns into a hideous monster WITH the glasses and yet everyone finds her extremely more attractive than before.
  • Zig Zagged: Millie has one group of guys who hit on her with her glasses on, and another group who likes her when her glasses are off.
  • Averted:
    • Millie wears contacts. When given a choice between glasses or laser surgery, she decides to let the eye doctors FIRE THEIR LAZORS!!!!!
    • No one is seen hitting on her even when she DOES wear glasses.
    • No attention is given to the fact she wears glasses; it is just another part of her outfit.
    • She was born with good eyesight so she chooses not to wear any eyewear.
  • Enforced: "Maybe I'll attract more guys if I wear glasses."
  • Lampshaded: "What is it about my glasses that drives these guys wild!?!"
  • Invoked: "No, Millie! Put your glasses back on! I like you better when you wear them!"
  • Exploited: Millie dons glasses as part of a disguise in order to look more attractive.
  • Defied: ???
  • Discussed: "Well, my doctor said I have 20/200 vision, and there's this guy who has a crush on me...do you think he'll like me better with glasses, or without?"
  • Conversed: "Those nerdy guys in that Star Trek fanclub really like it when a girl wears glasses...!"
  • Implied: She is seen talking to boys more when she's wearing them.
  • Deconstructed:
    • Millie beats the shit out of a glasses fetishist who hits on her...
    • Millie, tired of getting hit on, takes off her glasses and may or may not switch to contact lenses.
  • Reconstructed:
    • ...then, when he gets glasses himself, she finds herself attracted to him, and apologizes, and they become friends.
    • Millie later decides that she loved the attention and puts them back on or still gets hit on occasionally, just not as much.

Do not forget to put your glasses on as you go back to the main page, especially if you are Blind Without 'Em!
