Nobody who wears glasses in TV ever needs them for minor vision correction, except for reading glasses that are worn [[Purely Aesthetic Glasses|mainly to make the character look wise]]. Almost all TV characters with glasses have such bad vision that if they are deprived of their spectacles, they are practically blind—usually hammered home by showing (briefly) the character's uselessly blurry point of view or the character making a [[Blind Mistake]].
