Clark Kent - even if he is fictional.

Tim wonnacott of bargain hunt has to,be my top favourite - every colour and style to match his outfits make his specs fun and a fashion accessory for more senior wearers!

Sophia Loren gets my vote for a specs icon. Something I've learned from seeing Her Majesty at the State Openings of Parliament - never wear a crown with glasses....

My 6 year old. She looks so cute in her glasses, she takes after her mum!
