Glasses
From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference
Glasses were a set of lenses fitted into frames that allow for fixed, enhanced, or altered sight.
Notable uses
- The first incarnation carried a pair of opera glasses in his pocket. He utilised them for his first glimpses of the Dalek City on Skaro. (DW: The Daleks) The Ninth Doctor owned a similar pair. (DW: The Empty Child)
- 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. (DW: The Dæmons)
- The fifth incarnation typically wore a pair of glasses in times of great stress, especially following his regeneration. (DW: Castrovalva)
- The seventh incarnation seemed to use a pair of glasses to enhance his hypnotic ability. (DW: Silver Nemesis)
- The tenth incarnation wore a pair of tortoise-shell rimmed square glasses, usually when he was concentrating on a particular object or subject. (DW: Tooth and Claw et al) He used a pair of 3D glasses when observing the effects of the Void on people and objects. (DW: Doomsday) He also wore a pair of sunglasses while on San Helios which were just his normal glasses tinted by his Sonic screwdriver (DW: Planet of the Dead) and also upon landing on the Planet of the Ood. (DW: The End of Time)
- It is interesting to note that in Time Crash the Tenth Doctor said that the Fifth Doctor did not need glasses, but wore them to make him look smarter.
- The eleventh incarnation wore a pair of thermal imaging 'sunglasses' to detect Silurians in the dark. (DW: The Hungry Earth)
