Just out of curiosity, wouldn't putting a corrective lense over one eye result in serious strain? -- Kizor 21:33, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Not if you only have one eye screwed up. Some people have different strength of vision in their eyes

You're right, thanks. It's easy to miss that on the basis of the stereotype. Nowadays that's handled by glasses that only correct one eye; I guess they're relatively recent. -- Kizor 16:27, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Monocle magazine is pretty hard to find. I live in Seattle. There is not a library within 500 miles with a collection. I think it would be worth writing more about (also, there is a related outstanding question at Talk:radical middle.) Here's a list of North American libraries that have it. Would anyone be willing to take this up? -- Jmabel 18:40, Aug 30, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Why!?

If monacles were a status symbol, that means even men who didn't have the specific "single bad eye" problem. It is ridiculous to wear a monacle! Like Hot Pants! Havantus 16:21, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Teddy Roosevelt

Surely there should be a mention of this most famous wearer of monocles? 70.16.18.49 02:38, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

Teddy Roosevelt wore pince nez spectacles , not a monocle. Edgewise 22:26, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

I know that Eric von Stroheim wore a monocle when playing as an actor a German officer in some movies. But otherwise? The same question for Conrad Veidt (the German officer in Casablanca)
