[[File:Teashades.gif|thumb|Teashade sunglasses]]"Teashades" (sometimes also called "[[John Lennon]] glasses", "Round Metal", or, occasionally, "Granny Glasses") were a type of [[psychedelic art]] wire-rim sunglasses that were often worn, usually for purely aesthetic reasons, by members of the 1960s counterculture. Pop icons such as [[Mick Jagger]], [[Roger Daltrey]], [[John Lennon]], [[Jerry Garcia]], [[Boy George]], [[Liam Gallagher]], [[Suggs (singer)|Suggs]], [[Ozzy Osbourne]], Duckie ([[Jon Cryer]]) in ''[[Pretty in Pink (film)|Pretty in Pink]]'' and [[Jodie Foster]]'s character in the film ''[[Taxi Driver (film)|Taxi Driver]]'' all wore teashades. The original teashade design was made up of medium-sized, perfectly round lenses, supported by pads on the bridge of the nose and a thin wire frame. When teashades became popular in the late 1960s, they were often elaborated: Lenses were elaborately colored, mirrored, and produced in excessively large sizes, and with the wire earpieces exaggerated. A uniquely colored or darkened glass [[#Lens|lens]] was usually preferred. Modern versions tend to have plastic lenses, as do many other sunglasses. Teashades are hard to find in shops today; however, they can still be found at many costume Web sites and in some countries.

The term has now fallen into disuse, although references can still be found in literature of the time. "Teashades" was also used to describe glasses worn to hide the effects of recreational drugs such as [[marijuana]] (conjunctival injection) or [[heroin]] (pupillary constriction) or just bloodshot eyes.
