It's rare, but when required, they simply use the telekinetic eye to float the corrective lens in front of the eye that needs it. Telekinesis becomes particularly useful when mulit-focal lenses are required.

[Livmo]

You got me stumped on this one.

Maybe one big monocle for the main eye and the rest of the eyballs are on their own?

An engineering task of this magnitude clearly requires magic to work properly. However, when dealing with a beholder, magic can be... tricky. After years of work and many spectacularly failed attempts (one of which involved a pair of magical spectacles wearing a beholder) an anti-anti-magic field was invented, that allows a beholder to wear a set of magical glasses without dispelling them every 3 seconds.

[Dragonlover333]

Of course beholders never need glasses! The Lord of Eyes would never allow such imperfections in his masterpieces. You will be getting a visitor shortly to "discuss" your insolence.

[ComicRelief]

All beholders have a rare* condition that makes glasses ineffective. If they ever need corrective vision, they must wear hard contact lenses.


*Well, rare for everyone else, that is.

[Trillea]

If they have any vision problems, they go to a medical beholder for laser eye surgery. Glasses make their beams refract too crazily..

[Thumbed_Servant]

Of COURSE they need glasses! No one is immune to aging....why do you think their anti-magic ray has a limited range? They're NEAR sighted!

But no one realizes this because the beholders don't wear glasses...no ears to hold the glasses up. So, the beholders go around near sighted, and grumpy because of it.

[Math_Prof]

Decicle attached to a crown via flexible chain or cable.

[GregorV]

Depends. Have you ever been hit with a finely tuned Disintegrate ray? If not, the beholder was wearing glasses.

[Thar]

Why elementary my good fellow, monocles all around.

[beta1]

Of course not, they have enough Magic to fix any vision problems.

[HowManyNamesAreLeft]

While they may occasionally need some vision correction glasses would affect the spells too much, so when needed they use some form of lasik.

[UurlockYgmeov]

Monocles. Lots of Monocles.

[Oxarhamar]

Contact Lens

[Nyrvjjn]

I'm not sure if they need it I'm sure if they wear it will not make they more beauty...

[Scraap]

Nah, they'd just switch in a new set of Optic Nerves.

[ForgettableNPC]

Yes, they do, but to make glasses for Beholders, you just need a dead Glass Spider, separate the middle section of its body, and tie it around the Beholder's head and there you go, instant Beholder Glasses.

And for their eyestalks, use the same method, but with Baby Glass Spiders

[nordlav]

No, don't think so..........no ears to hang them on.

[Gratch]

First you giant eye-patch the anti-magic eye - just cuz. Then you fashion a chain-mail beholder "hoody-hood-only" that has the correct magnification/location inserts. Third - have a mage enchant the lenses for focusing the bursts similar to a "death star" beam. (Note the enchantments stick because of that "what seemed useless" eyepatch at the start). Fourth, spin the beholder. Wait... what was the question?
