A pair of glasses that look like those worn by Ira Glass, host of This American Life, characterized by prominent black frames. A favorite of the literati and intellectuals since the 1960s.
The 3D glasses that are being given out by Real D at Beowulf screenings look like oversized ira glasses (actually, like ira sun-glasses).
