four-eyed

Glasses on face

Four-eyed is a mildly insulting term for someone who wears glasses, treating corrective lenses as a defect or oddity.

The insult belongs mostly to schoolyard taunting: Hey four-eyes, can't you see?

It has largely lost its sting as glasses have become fashionable and common.
