Synopsis A boy is unhappy about having to wear glasses, until his doctor provides an imaginative list of well-adjusted eyeglass wearers.
When a young boy complains that wearing glasses will make him "look like a dork," his eye doctor points out that all kinds of people, from moms to movie stunt actors, wear glasses. Unfortunately, the doctor also believes that worms and potatoes wear glasses. Will this odd doc convince the boy to become a bespectacled spectacle?
