Contexto cultural
In Chinese culture, glasses were once a status symbol of the 'literati' or educated class. Today, due to intense schooling, China has some of the highest myopia rates in the world, making this phrase ubiquitous. Interestingly, 'fake' glasses without lenses are a popular fashion trend among youth to look more stylish.
The 'Dài' Rule
Always use `戴` for things you 'put on' the head, neck, or hands (hats, scarves, rings). Use `穿` for the body and legs.
Don't confuse with 'Take'
In English, we 'take' glasses, but in Chinese, if you are bringing them with you, use `带` (same sound, different character). `戴` is only for the act of wearing.

What It Means
戴眼镜 is your go-to phrase for wearing glasses. The verb 戴 is special. It is used for accessories like hats, jewelry, or watches. It is different from 穿, which you use for clothes. Think of it as 'adorning' your face with lenses.
How To Use It
You use it just like a verb-object phrase. If you are currently wearing them, you say 我戴眼镜. If you are putting them on right now, you can also use 戴. It is simple and direct. Do not forget the measure word 副 if you want to say 'a pair'. For example, 一副眼镜.
When To Use It
Use it whenever you need to describe someone's appearance. It is perfect for identifying a friend in a crowded mall. Use it at the optometrist when discussing your vision. It is also common in office settings when someone forgets their reading glasses. It is a very practical, everyday expression.
When NOT To Use It
Do not use 戴 for shoes, pants, or shirts. That would sound very funny to a native speaker. Also, do not use it for contact lenses. For those, we usually say 戴隐形眼镜. If you are just 'holding' the glasses in your hand, use 拿 instead of 戴.
Cultural Background
In China, wearing glasses was historically seen as a sign of being a scholar. It suggested you spent a lot of time reading books. Today, high rates of myopia mean almost everyone wears them. It is no longer just for 'nerds'. It is a common fashion accessory in cities like Shanghai or Beijing.
Common Variations
You might hear 戴上眼镜 which means 'to put on glasses'. If someone has very thick lenses, people might joke they are wearing 'bottoms of beer bottles'. Another variation is 近视眼镜 for nearsighted glasses. You will also see 墨镜 used for sunglasses specifically.
Notas de uso
This is a neutral, everyday phrase suitable for all settings. The most important thing for beginners is to master the specific verb `戴` (dài) and distinguish it from `穿` (chuān).
The 'Dài' Rule
Always use `戴` for things you 'put on' the head, neck, or hands (hats, scarves, rings). Use `穿` for the body and legs.
Don't confuse with 'Take'
In English, we 'take' glasses, but in Chinese, if you are bringing them with you, use `带` (same sound, different character). `戴` is only for the act of wearing.
The 'Scholar' Look
In China, wearing glasses can sometimes earn you the nickname '眼镜' (Yǎnjìng) among close friends, somewhat like calling someone 'Specs'.
