Meaning
A pair of prescription spectacles. They stand for eyesight, reading and — inescapably — the visual shorthand for intelligence and studiousness, a cliché that glasses-wearers have been carrying since the invention of the cartoon. They appear in posts about eye tests, new frames, and screen fatigue. Over half the world is expected to be short-sighted by 2050, which makes this a more universal object than it looks.
How to use it
- New glasses, can suddenly see leaves again 👓️
- Eye test is long overdue 👓️
- Screens have destroyed my eyesight 👓️
