Smarts
Due to my weeping eye (which is getting slowly better) I've been wearing glasses for three days now. I hate wearing glasses - I can't see as well as with contacts, and they just get in the way. But getting people's reaction at work is funny. First comment is pretty much the self evident "you're wearing glasses" - well duh, yes I am, well spotted Sherlock. Usually added by the hasty complement "they suit you", "they make you look younger" and the age old "they make you look smarter". I've sometimes thought of this, if I should wear glasses for example for interviews - and would it really make a difference?

If/when looking for a job/career advancement you should at least have a photo of yourself in glasses and see if that application/CV gets noticed more. Or use the glasses when giving presentations or speeches, they migth just make you appear more expert-y. (Not that youŽd come off as a bimbo without them, but you know what I mean.) And besides, the right eyewear is darn sexy, too.
