Take off your glasses

[Phi]

If someone is wearing glasses and you want to ask him or her to remove the glasses ( eg. to perform a visual evaluation for him/ her). How do you say it naturally and easy to understand?

How about " take off your glasses, please"?

If the person is a customer, I might use a politer formulation:

• Would you mind {removing/taking off} your {glasses/spectacles} please?
• Could you {remove/take off} your {glasses/spectacles} please?

Yes, that's the way an ophthalmologist or optometrist would put it—a simple directive that the patient will understand.

If you are about to give someone an eye exam, I don't think it is rude to be more direct and ask your patient to please remove their glasses. It is more instructive than a request. My docor always says, "I need you to remove your glasses, please."

Spectacles is no longer a word we use. It is passé.

I agree provided it is understood that 'we' means 'AE speakers'. It is still used in some other parts of the world, and is sometimes shortened to specs in informal contexts.
