Line 145:
* Hilariously subverted in ''[[The Seven Year Itch]]'' where a man asks a woman who looks homely with glasses and her hair in a bun to take the glasses off and let down her hair. Guess what? Still homely.
* In ''[[Waiting for Guffman]]'', Corky has Eugene Levy's character take his glasses off to make him more presentable as a performer. It just makes his eyes cross comically.
* In ''[[The Rocky Horror Picture Show]]'' Brad whips off his glasses when he starts getting angry at Frank-N-Furter (to which the audience will usually yell "Superman!"), but it's an aversion because Brad is essentially powerless and Frank knows it. He's eventually forced to put them back on, both because he needs them to see and because the servants have by this time stripped him to his underwear and he has nowhere to put them.

Line 165 ⟶ 166:
** "Evil Daniel" also didn't wear glasses in Absolute Power. The character also stopped wearing them when he {{spoiler|ascended to a higher plane of existence. Both times.}}
* [[Stoic Spectacles|Logan]] in ''[[Dark Angel]]'' also manages to keep his glasses for the entire run (shorter though it was) and when Max is lusting over him, she mentions how much they ''add'' to his appeal.
* When the obligatory makeover came in ''[[Yo soySoy Betty, la Fea]]'' Betty changed her ugly, thick rimmed glasses for… thin rimmed, modern, fashionable glasses. Her mentor Catalina Angel actually wanted Betty to go with contacts, but because Betty was in a hurry and didn't have time to get accustomed to them, prettier glasses were the compromise.
