You can tell because of the magnification.

Having worn glasses since 9th grade (and I'm now a senior citizen), I clearly cannot fathom people WANTING to wear glasses!!!!!  In the "current" vernacular...."cray, cray", IMHO.

It appeared to me she had glass lenses.  There is a distortion about non-glass lenses that is visible for those who have worn both.  I wear a prism lens and I hate the glass lenses for that reason and I do not like the non-glass lenses because of that distorted look but prefer plastic because of the light weight and the inability of the average person to detect the prism lens.  Usually only people in the business detect my prism lenses when wearing plastic.

glad someone posted a picture of her wearing them, as I choose not to watch shows she hosts.  Her presentations do not appeal to me, that's why I don't watch shows she hosts.

I've ordered zero strength sunglasses before because I liked the style of them.

 

I've had to have glasses/contacts since the 4th grade so I personally cannot understand anyone wearing them if they don't have to.  LOL

When my daughter was a kid ,she pretended not to see well so she could get glasses like some other kids wore.

No surprise that Shawn would wear those attention-seeking fake glasses.

She is so incredibly needy to look bizarre for attention.

Anyone who doesn't need correction for their vision should feel so thankful and not be wishing they needed glasses. 

She is clueless, thinks only about her appearance
