* [[Ranma One Half½]] subverts this trope. Mousse, a male member of the same tribe of "Chinese Amazons" that Ranma's [[Accidental Marriage|self-proclaimed fiancee]] Shampoo belongs to, normally looks like a rather [[Bishonen]] guy. Unfortunately for him, his eyesight is horrendous, and to counteract this he has to wear a set of [[Nerd Glasses]] that make him look absolutely ridiculous whenever he puts them on. Worse still, he has a bad habit of taking them off frequently, due to either vanity or [[Glasses Pull|wanting to be dramatic]]... and because he's [[Blind Without'Em]], he invariably ends up making himself look like an idiot. Even worse is the fact that his eyesight honestly isn't so hot with them ''on'' either; he's a bit better at seeing where his target actually is instead of walking right past it, but he still tends to confuse objects and people.
* Kirihara in ''[[Darker Than Black]]'' may look better without her glasses, but when she isn't wearing them she [[Blind Without'Em|spends all her time squinting]].
* Referenced and [[Deconstruction|deconstructed]] by Kyousuke from ''[[Ore no Imouto ga Konna ni Kawaii Wake ga Nai]]'' regarding his [[Unlucky Childhood Friend|childhood friend]] [[Meganekko|Manami]]. He thinks her overall features are plain. He also thinks that, unlike fiction, she still look plain even without her glasses. She's also [[Blind Without'Em]].
