Not sure if the right sub, but didn't find one that was better.
There was a series I read growing up that I love and want to add to my personal collection.
It was set in a world where certain lenses granted power to those who could wield it. The main character could use these lenses. The main side character could not, and was jealous at first. She could only wear a basic pair of shades that did something quite useful. I remember every chapter started with a page of basically nonsense.
The main character very quickly gets a pair of glasses that shoots a laser.
