History Main / OpaqueNerdGlasses

* Mousse from ''Manga/RanmaOneHalf'' is a borderline exception. He has the glasses, but he's not a nerd. He ''is'', however, an obsessive {{Stalker with a Crush}} with no common sense. He's BlindWithoutEm, yet never puts them on until ''after'' he has, for example, spent five minutes talking to a tree under the assumption that it's actually Shampoo. He also has a habit of [[TheGlassesComeOff taking them off to attempt something dramatic]], then doing something stupid because he can't see. And even when turning into a duck, he still wear a pair of ''duck-sized Nerd Glasses''.

* [[MadScientist Heloise]] on ''WesternAnimation/JimmyTwoShoes'' wears a pair on occasion. [[{{Meganekko}} She pulls the look off nicely]].

* Beth and Harold from ''WesternAnimation/TotalDramaIsland'' also have dotted eyes without their nerd glasses (although it's a bit more common in their universe). They are also considered to be the nerdiest of the contestants.

* Velma from ''WesternAnimation/ScoobyDoo''. She's practically BlindWithoutEm. And she's the brains of the gang.

* In ''Webcomic/{{Irrelevator}}'' it goes so far with the blue stickman that they do [[http://i.imgur.com/wA81VWz.gif the evil anime-shine.]]

* Goseng from ''WebComic/TowerOfGod'' has such glasses. She has an unusual look for the context -- few people in the Tower wear glasses at all, possibly because they're always improving themselves with [[MagicByAnyOtherName Shinsoo]], and they're a part of how she's drawn a bit more simply than other characters. The glasses also highlight how she's unusually ordinary for a Regular climbing the Tower, not exactly a superpowered powerhouse.

* One episode of ''KidsIncorporated'' has Renee getting several pairs of glasses. We see her Opaque Nerd Glasses, and it is mentioned that she has two other colours and [[SnapBack also wears contacts for concerts]]. Kudos to them for at least ''mentioning'' the colour variety.

** A few background characters in the ''SuperMario Adventures'' comic have these.

** Fawful from the ''Mario & Luigi'' games sports red glasses, complete with spirals and crazy grin.

* Episode 9 of ''Manga/{{Gintama}}'' gives us an interesting example; an old man with Opaque Nerd Glasses. Under the glasses, he has the eyes of MiyamotoMusashi!

* {{Franchise/Superman}}'s NerdGlasses are sometimes Opaque Nerd Glasses, DependingOnTheArtist. In comics, unlike real life, the blank white circles actually ''do'' mask his appearance. MediumAwareness, anyone?

* In ''This Toon Round'' - the FunnyAnimal version of ''Fanfic/ThisTimeRound'', the pub outside ''Franchise/DoctorWho'' continuity - the character of Daibhid Chelonidae is a geeky and nervous tortoise with nearly opaque glasses. Since he's [[Tropers/DaibhidC totally not based on a real person]], neither are the glasses.

** Scooter has thick glasses with his eyes on the lenses. His eyes are on his ''glasses'', ''not'' his face. His DistaffCounterpart Skeeter has an identical pair on ''MuppetBabies''.

* Professor Farnsworth in ''{{WesternAnimation/Futurama}}'' has a pair of Nerd Glasses, and indeed his eyes are never seen in the series. Subverted in one episode where he needed his "reading glasses" -- and put on a pair several times thicker than his already fairly enormous glasses (to the point that they looked like glass cylinders). At least somewhat of a JustifiedTrope: Professor Farnsworth is 160 years old. Anyone's vision would become pretty bad by that age.

* ''{{WesternAnimation/Arthur}}''. Like Scooter on ''The Muppet Show'', the title character's eyes ''are'' his glasses--the lenses are all white, with dots in them for his pupils. Most other characters end up this way when they end up wearing glasses. In [[EarlyInstallmentCharacterDesignDifference earlier flashback episodes]], his eyes sans spectacles were the same as everyone else's, but they soon gave him ''Peanuts''-style floating dots instead.

* {{WesternAnimation/SpongeBob Squarepants}} wears these for safety when out jellyfishing.

* Cedric Sner in ''WesternAnimation/TheRaccoons'' albeit his eyes are small like two dots to begin with. Due to this [[{{Woolseyism }} he was called]] [[PunnyName Cegato (Blindy)]] in the Spanish dub.

* ''VideoGame/EarthBound''
** Both Jeff and Dr. Andonuts.
** Loid from ''Zero''.

* Kururu from ''Manga/KeroroGunsou''.

* ''LivePowerfulProBaseball'' has the recurring ButtMonkey [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} Akio Yabe]], the primary sidekick of the main character. Frankly, he spawns at least four [[IdenticalStranger Identical Strangers]] who wear the same gigantic glasses throughout the metaseries.

* Makoto Ariga from ''Manga/WanderingSon'' in her [[EarlyInstallmentCharacterDesignWeirdness first few appearances]]. Later on you could see her eyes at all times.

* Arara Cocoa from the ''[[Anime/NGKnightLamune40 Lamune & 40]]'' series, though this is mostly in the TV series as she doesnt wear them in later installments of the series.
** The joke was later carried over into ''Anime/CyberTeamInAkihabara'' (produced by the same staff) with Cocoas sorta-expy Miyama Soshigaya/Death Crow, who [[Creator/SakikoTamagawa happens to share the same seiyuu as Cocoa]], but ''not'' the same personality
