"The Glasses" is the sixty-seventh episode of the hit sitcom Seinfeld. It was the 3rd episode for the 5th season. It aired on September 30, 1993.

[edit] Plot

George's eyeglasses are stolen at the Health Club and he needs a new pair. He goes to see Kramer's friend to get a thirty percent discount because Kramer helped him break his addiction to sugar. Elaine is bitten by a dog and becomes afraid of dogs as well as the possibility that she may have rabies. While not wearing his glasses, George thinks he sees Jerry's girlfriend Amy kissing Jerry's cousin Jeffrey, who apparently has a "horse face". Jerry decides to visit Jeffrey to figure out if it's true. Jerry doesn't know what to think of George's uncanny ability to see while "squinting". George finally decides upon a new pair but is distressed to hear that he bought a pair of women's glasses made by Gloria Vanderbilt. George manages to trade his frames with a blind man's uncomfortable ones. With his vision back, he realizes that it was not Amy kissing Jeffrey, but a rather homely mounted policewoman affectionately petting her horse. The episode ends as we see George's glasses right on top of the lockers in the Health Club.
