Design
Persona 4 / Golden
The glasses made for the Investigation Team, more often than not, complement them in some way, be it their personality or their respective "color." Additionally, all of the glasses have SMPTE color bars on the side of the frame, following the television motif. All lenses are lightly tinted.
- The protagonist, to correlate with his monochrome appearance, has a simple gray pair of rectangular glasses, with the fewest of embellishments.
- Yosuke Hanamura's glasses are square, in a vibrant orange.
- Chie Satonaka's glasses are oval, in a bright yellow, reminiscent of her initial Persona, Tomoe. They are also the thickest out of the lot.
- Yukiko Amagi's glasses, which are the only pair in the game to be half-rimmed, are thin and red.
- Kanji Tatsumi's glasses are black sunglasses. As opposed to covering his eyes, his glasses, like Rise's, rest on the bridge of his nose instead.
- Rise Kujikawa has pink, oblong glasses.
- Naoto Shirogane's glasses are a light blue and the second thinnest, next to Yukiko's.

All of the glasses are available as downloadable content packs. Included in these packs are several new glasses for characters that did not originate from Persona 4.

Persona 5 / Royal
Players who purchase the Persona 4 Costume DLC set obtain a Yasogami High uniform complete with glasses similar to the ones worn by the Investigation Team. The costume set also comes with an exclusive Glasses battle accessory that increases the EXP gained by the equipped character after a battle; in Royal, this perk has been converted into the skill +15% EXP.

Profile
Persona 4 / Golden
The fog in the Midnight Channel is extremely thick and usually anything within it cannot be seen with normal human eyes. Teddie creates glasses to pass the time when he is alone in the TV World. The glasses he makes have the special property of being able to see through the fog. He makes a pair of glasses whenever a new member joins the Investigation Team; he also states that he does not need a pair himself, as his eyes have contact lenses sewn in.
He also created a pair of horn-rimmed joke glasses with swirly lens, attached eyebrows, a large plastic nose and a bushy mustache, a possible reference to Groucho Marx's famous novelty disguise. Teddie himself admitted the glasses were a mistake, as he used the wrong type of lens to create it, but it still functions normally like any other pair he makes.
Later in the story, the fog of the Midnight Channel begins to seep in to the real world. Though the fog is just as oppressive to people's sight in the real world as it is in the Midnight Channel, the Investigation Team discovers that their glasses still work in clearing the fog from their vision in the real world.
