spectacled
Has corrective eyewear
Spectacled means wearing spectacles (glasses), or marked with patterns resembling glasses around the eyes.
The word appears most often in animal names: the spectacled bear, spectacled cobra, spectacled caiman—all species with eye-ring markings.
Applied to humans, it sounds slightly old-fashioned or literary: a spectacled professor.
