One pair for reading, one pair for writing, one for out of doors, one for looking at you over the top of, and a fifth pair for looking for the other four on the frequent occasions when they're lost.

I did used to own "formal" glasses. they were different from my everyday one by being fancier and not being photo-chromatic sunglasses. they offered me 2 for 1 on pairs so i got a fancy pair.

that being said, dating advice from websites? i would have credited Clinton with more intelligence than that, unless he was truly desperate. i get that he's a social novice/total prick, but i didn't think of him as, you know, intellectually naive enough to resort to "doing it by the book/yahoo answers".

Well, 'doing it by the book' might not be the worst idea - at least some good advice's in there:

The book of love is long and boring
No one can lift the damn thing
It's full of charts and facts and figures
And instructions for dancing

I've worn glasses since I was seven. I *like* having old pairs around, but I can never manage to do it.
The worst was the time I got hit in the face by a volleyball in gym class and had to go the rest of the day with no glasses. If I wanted to have a prayer at reading the board, I had to move my desk practically on top of the teacher.

Spare glasses are a necessity to me. I have two pair. I own a glasses-repair kit.
Were I in a similar situation, no teacher would even ask me, my vision was so famously bad in high school.
Legally blind starts at 20/400 vision. Without correction, mine's in the 20/1600 range, meaning I have to be 20 feet to see something normally-sighted folk can see from about a third a mile away.
In third grade, I went on a field trip to an orchestra without my glasses, and the teacher asked us to write about what our favorite instrument was. Everyone else said stuff like, 'the trumpet looked cool!' Mine boiled down to 'I liked the fuzzy one. The one with the funny name. It looked fuzzy.'
My basketball coach called me Velma, despite my being a male, after I stopped basketball practice because my glasses fell off. My reaction was loud, to say the least; it stopped not only the boys' practice, but the girls' as well, on the other end of the court.
Like I said, if we presume Clinton to be accident-prone and poorly-sighted, I understand why he would keep multiple pairs.

--- End quote ---
I think the "oval frames" are supposed to be the round ones seen at an angle. They are on top of the dresser until the last frame, when they are on his face, so it's clearly the same pair.
