I get it, it’s the 32nd century and the glasses are maybe heads up displays that only he can see and use. But don’t you think in three thousand years they would have figured out how to build that stuff INTO or ONTO the eye? Instead of making the person, or the person choosing to wear an ancient form of corrective lenses.
When you wear glasses, people don’t look at your eyes. They look at your glasses. It’s especially useful for deception.
The more I think about the reasons why his character has glasses … and the more I look at him and remember his character … the more I thought that he was probably an android of some sort and the glasses might have been just a distraction or deception so that people wouldn’t think he wasn’t human.
