Drawing Notes:
These remind me of a pair of wire rim glasses from the era of Benjamin Franklin with the handle added to the right side. I believe the wearer would need a large nose to keep these on, but perhaps the bridge is wider to accommodate the fact that you hold them with your hand, thus needing the extra wiggle room per se.

Drawing Notes:
These are heavy duty glasses with two lenses to improve the magnification. They look like small binoculars from the front and side. The two lenses are slightly adjustable to change the amount of magnification. I added the side view to show how thick and heavy the opera glasses are.
