bespectacled
Having glasses on
Bespectacled means wearing glasses: a bespectacled professor peered at the manuscript.
The word has a slightly formal or literary flavor—in casual speech, people usually just say "wearing glasses." It often appears in physical descriptions, particularly of scholarly or bookish types.
