用法筆記
Eyeglasses is a plural noun, like 'scissors' or 'trousers'. To refer to one unit, use 'a pair of eyeglasses' or simply 'a pair of glasses'. The singular form 'eyeglass' is very rare in modern English and normally refers to a single lens (a monocle). Outside North America, the shorter form 'glasses' is far more common in everyday speech.
