I always figured he wore glasses because he had a vision problem, like short sightedness, which is why he needed the glasses when he was reading things.
Venture said:My guess would be theatrical value. He wears them in the "love scene" with Willie in TOD, and he isn't reading anything legible then.

Notice that, during the love scene, he takes his glasses off as soon as the sexual innuendo dialogue begins. He is switching from scholar mode to stud mode with one, simple gesture.Attila the Professor said:Why does he have them in the ToD love scene? It's twofold:
1) Continuity - he had them during the banquet
2) Symbolism - he was, in a way, in scholarly mode while seducing Willie ("nothing shocks me, I'm a scientist")
In this very thread, read the posts by Lao Che and you'll find out exactly where that astigmatism info comes from.I said:On the Indiana Jones wiki, it says he wears them for an astigmatism.
