Notable uses
- The First Doctor carried a pair of opera glasses in his pocket. He used them for his first glimpses of the Dalek City on Skaro. (TV: The Daleks) The Ninth Doctor owned a similar pair. (TV: The Empty Child)
- The First Doctor sometimes wore a pair of wire-rimmed spectacles. The newly-regenerated Second Doctor briefly donned these on Vulcan to examine the murdered Examiner's badge before realising he could see perfectly well and didn't need glasses anymore. (PROSE: The Power of the Daleks)
- The Master often used a pair of glasses as part of a disguise, such as his disguise as Reverend Magister whilst in Devil's End. (TV: The Dæmons)
- The Fifth Doctor typically wore a pair of glasses in times of great stress, especially following his regeneration. (TV: Castrovalva) The Tenth Doctor suggested he did it to look smart. (TV: Time Crash)
- The Seventh Doctor seemed to use a pair of glasses to enhance his hypnotic ability. (TV: Silver Nemesis)
- The Tenth Doctor wore a pair of tortoise-shell rimmed square glasses, usually when he was concentrating on a particular object or subject, indicating either extreme interest or "action mode". (TV: Tooth and Claw et al) He used a pair of 3D glasses when observing the effects of the Void on people and objects. (TV: Doomsday) He also wore a pair of sunglasses while on San Helios which were just his normal glasses tinted by his Sonic screwdriver (TV: Planet of the Dead) and upon landing on the Planet of the Ood. (TV: The End of Time)
- The Eleventh Doctor wore a pair of thermal imaging 'sunglasses' to detect Silurians in the dark. (TV: The Hungry Earth) He gave a pair of glasses to Rory Williams which allowed him to see everything Rory saw, through a screen in his TARDIS, (TV: The Girl Who Waited) in a manner similar to the Eye-5 contact lenses used by Torchwood. He also would don a pair of round tortoiseshell glasses while examining memory snow, similar to his previous incarnation. (TV: The Snowmen)
