Best Answer

they were prescription, much like jack nicholson's glasses, and hence why he wears them indoors.

Roy Orbison was NOT blind, was NOT crosseyed and was NOT an albino. Lets get that out of the way. He did wear glasses because he had trouble seeing. Before a show he forgot his prescription (clear) glasses and the only prescription pair he had were sunglasses. Fabulous pictures were taken and he stayed with it. He also decided he liked them better.

well, lets see.. there are many reasons for this... I'm quite sure Roy wore glasses because he wanted to!!? Either that or it was a really sunny day out and he didn't want to burn his eyes! it could be one of those two, but for all i know he probably wore glasses because he needed them to see! Why are you even asking me this.. shouldn't you know??

He left his regular glasses on his tour bus once and only had his prescription sunglasses with him so he wore those instead and it became his trademark look.
