thick glasses
Heavy corrective eyewear
Thick glasses have lenses with substantial depth, typically needed to correct severe nearsightedness or farsightedness.
The phrase often carries connotations of studious appearance or social awkwardness: a shy kid with thick glasses, She peered through thick glasses at the document.
Modern lens technology has made truly thick glasses less common, but the image persists as cultural shorthand for bookishness or poor vision.
