A man wearing eyeglasses

For the man-made see-through objects, see glass.

Eyeglasses (U.S), or spectacles (Brit.) are pieces of glass or clear plastic, called lenses, in a frame that holds them in front of someone's eyes.

Corrective lenses let some people see or read better, if they have problems seeing.

Sunglasses are a kind of eyeglasses that keep too much sunlight from getting in people's eyes.
