Skaters who wear eyeglasses

Meryl also wears glasses sometimes, AFAIR.

Charlie also wears glasses.

I have seen photos of Ashley Wagner wearing glasses.

And Alex has worn them since a young age.

I seem to recall that Maia and he both tweeted other pics at the time he was selecting his most recent (oh-so-cool ) pair of frames, although I don't have links to those tweets at my fingertips.​

Just for grins: I love this old "Who wore it best?" compilation (eyeglass edition) of the Shibs and Davis/White.

Jeffrey Buttle wears glasses ... although I do not know whether he did during his years as a competitor.

Regarding those already mentioned in the thread:

- Around the time of Vancouver, Charlie White had gold-rimmed frames, IIRC.
- Hardly a rare sighting (sorry, no pun intended), but here is Jason Brown with his glasses.

For more laughs: super-silly spectacles on Team USA skaters.

Not related to glasses but what a stunning picture of Maia and Kristy never seems to age.

Not sure if it's part of her costume or what....but here's Arakawa Shizuka in glasses!

I'm amazed that they stay on when she does that...

 

[Scatcat]

Brooklee Han, can't see a thing without glasses! Always squinting in the K & C.

I'm amazed by that, too! Off topic, the video of Shizuka was very nice, thanks for sharing. I saw her at Skate America 2003? and saw her interact with fans. She seemed so smiley, genuine and gracious.

I'm positive I've seen Kristi Yamaguchi with glasses.

 

[dorispulaski]

She definitely did! And she was a spokesperson for those contacts that make your eyes appear to be a different color.

And I think Joannie Rochette was a spokesperson for LASIK.

Carolina Kostner, for sure. She wears these oversize schoolmarm ones ...

Kostner's eyeglasses are prominent in the very first photo posted on her Instagram account -- which is brand new as of today (and which she launched to celebrate 250,000 likes on her FB page ).
