Glasses

Glasses are a crude human technology. Normally, they are intended to enhance eyesight when the wearer suffers from an optical deficiency. (Humans have not developed a successful method of replacing inefficient optic organs, and their repair techniques are as yet too expensive for common use.) Other humans wear glasses to limit the overly intense light from the Sun, or simply to look "cool". Humans are a very strange species indeed.
