"My entire life, I've hid behind these glasses. It's gotten in the way of every job I've ever had, everything I've ever wanted to do, every relationship, every friendship."
Kara Danvers to Lena Luthor on her experience wearing the glasses across her life.[src]

Kara Danvers wears a pair of lead-lined glasses to help her control her visual powers. They also conceal her identity. Kara gave up wearing the glasses after choosing to reveal her identity to the world.

History[]

Kara Danvers awakened in a panic, dreaming about the Battle at the Dawn of Time; as Alex called her name, Kara's glasses fell from her face and she almost hit her sister with a gaze of heat vision. Later, Kara wore her glasses and attended the 2020 Peace Prize Award Ceremony held for Lex Luthor.[1]
