This brief report explores the symbolic meaning of adolescents' refusal to wear prescribed glasses in psychoanalytic psychotherapy. It has been demonstrated that conventional glasses are imbued with intricate symbolic connotations pertaining to visibility, vulnerability, and subjective positioning in relation to the gaze of others. As demonstrated by clinical examples, adolescents initially exhibit reluctance to wear glasses, attributable to unconscious anxieties concerning exposure and vulnerability. Through psychoanalytic interpretation, these resistances are reconceptualized as symbolic defense mechanisms reflecting deeper psychoanalytic conflicts such as narcissistic injury, social objectification, and autonomy. The therapeutic progress evident in the eventual acceptance of glasses symbolizes significant changes toward symbolic integration, self-efficacy, and relational maturity. The report emphasizes the importance of attentiveness to subtle behavioural changes in psychotherapy and how apparently ordinary objects can provide insight into underlying psychodynamic processes.
