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.
There are quite a few examples of this actually happening. I’ve already mentioned neckties, but perhaps a better equivalent would be high-heels. Once worn by men as functional riding shoes, they’ve now entirely lost that use and are worn by women solely as a fashion item.
