Glasses

The sign for glasses or eye glasses looks like you are outlining an imaginary pair of eye glasses on your head. Taking your thumb and index finger on each hand, start with them open around your eyes, then bring the thumb and index finger together while pulling your hands to either side of your face.

An alternative ASL sign for glasses is to simply curve your index fingers and thumbs around either eye at the same time, forming the shape of the lenses of the glasses.
