* Sunao from ''[[Potemayo]]'', when running to school with a large group of people but without his glasses, somehow ends up in a restaurant. That's not even open. And resembles a school only in that both have doors and chairs.

* Jean Roque de Baltique in ''[[Nadia: The Secret of Blue Water]]'', including the obligatory [[Dropped Glasses]] scene. To the point that without the glasses, his eyes are drawn much smaller than the usual "anime" size.

* While a number of characters in ''[[Black Butler]]'' wear glasses, death god William T. Spears is the only one so far who seems to need them outside of making a fashion statement. About thirteen minutes into [http://www4.funimation.com/video/?page=video&v=6172: episode 9 of Kuroshitsuji II], he loses his glasses and starts fumbling around on the ground Velma-style—even admonishing a brick wall that he thinks is his partner.

* Averted in ''[[Brigadoon Marin and Melan]]''. Marin is a rare example of a character who's far-sighted rather than near-sighted. She does need glasses, but she can see well enough to get around without 'em.

* Normally averted yet still invoked in ''[[Detective Conan]]'' to maintain Conan's [[Clark Kenting]]. He doesn't need the glasses to see, but he fakes this anyway to keep his identity secret. The dub made it one step further by making dub!Conan say he has retinitis pigmentosa.

* Subverted in ''[[Megatokyo]]'': Piro manages to function quite well after Largo sits on his glasses, and later explains to Kimiko that he can still see reasonably well. (Interestingly, Kimiko responds that ''she'' can barely see at all without her ''contacts''.) He still has difficulties, however, as shown later when he searches for hidden cameras.

* Subverted in ''[[Schlock Mercenary]]'', in which Kevyn insists he can't see a thing without his trademark shades. In fact he can see just fine without them—if only in a single spectrum of light.

* ''[[The Law of Purple]]'': Dex's eyesight is highly dependent on his glasses, as he is ''incredibly'' nearsighted without them. Possible aversion with another character, who also wears glasses but doesn't appear to be quite as dependent on them.
