From the people who brought you ‘The Doctors ranked by Eyebrows’, CultBox sinks even lower, to eye-level in fact, and bring you the 10 best things The Doctor has ever worn on his face(s)…

 

3. Eleven’s Thermographic Sunglasses

Doctor Who Matt Smith the Hungry Earth Eleventh

Looking a lot like the Sonic Sunglasses (maybe he’s just upgraded them from this pair?), and giving the wearer ‘Predator vision’, Eleven uses these in ‘The Hungry Earth’ to spot a Silurian.

And they must be good, because they manage to differentiate the temperature difference between a cold-blooded creature and the ambient temperature of Wales.

 

2. Twelve’s Sonic Sunglasses

Technology apparently 9 million years ahead of the Human race, and 10 million years ahead of Google Glass (#GoogleBurn), the sonic sunnies can summon the TARDIS, run diagnostics, project a hologram, erase memories, unlock shackles, and make you look incredibly laid-back while all that happens.

They are the Deus Specs Machina. Do they have a decent UV rating though?

 

1. Ten’s Brainy Specs

Like Five, he doesn’t need to wear them, but that’s not really the point. Ten puts his tortoiseshells on and suddenly it seems like he knows everything, can think his way out of anything. And as they top off his whole ‘nerd chic’ vibe, he looks rather good in them.

You might say he has ‘real specs appeal’. Damn, almost made it through the whole list without using that pun…
