Glasses
A character wears eye glasses?
shareShe's allergic to retnox.
share... Retinax

There's precedent, as others have noted, but at least they could have avoided making them look like Walgreens-bought reading glasses. ;)

She was beautiful in those glasses
(and without them).
She had to have them so she could take them off and put them back on, at which point we would know when serious business was serious.

Glasses are fashion items over 300 years.
Kinda like they're already with laser vision corrections.
I got to admit Sean Young's character REALLY bothered me. Aesthetically she was so out of place in "Star Trek Renegades", specifically in costume. Nothing against her personally, I know someone who has worked with her on screen and she is a terrific actress. But I felt the glasses were a bit ridiculous as well as her overall costume.
The thing is, the glasses, they made sense in Star Trek II with Captain Kirk. They wanted to get the point across that Kirk was aging and he wasn't invincible, it kind of tied in with Spock's death at the end of the film. They showed the flaws of Kirk.
In this instance, there was no valid reason behind it. There was no moral purpose behind it like there was with Kirk. They just stuck a generic character in this that wore glasses and it really didn't make any sense.
Exactly right. And it goes way beyond suspension of disbelief (is this term right in this context?) when STAR TREK established in countless episodes that they have some almost magical medical technologies!
shareYup, they managed to grow and graft a hand onto Chekov's granddaughter so you'd think growing a new pair of eyes wouldn't be too big an ask.

I also thought that was strange. I'd think glasses wouldn't be needed in that time period due to medical advances.

We have clearance, Clarence.
Roger, Roger. What's our vector, Victor?
