Gale-Force Reading Glasses (風詠みの眼鏡 Kazeyomi no Megane) are a type of Magic Item.
Description[]
In the manga, the Gale-Force Reading Glasses are portrayed as a simple pair of glasses with elongated lenses and a dark, mildly large frame, whose only unique feature is the image of a small wing, surrounded by a pair of little hearts, present on the left lens. Levy McGarden's pair also has the quality of the glasses (this being 18x) written on the right lens.[2]
In the anime, the glasses are given a slightly more distinctive appearance, with no inscriptions on the lenses, and the wing being present as an ornament jutting out from each of the lenses' sides instead.[3] They can also come in different colors such as blue and orange.[1]
