A hearing aid
- A person who is hard of hearing may wear a hearing-aid on Shabbat, even in a public domain without an eruv. One need not be concerned with considerations of electricity or carrying as long as the hearing-aid is securely in his ear, and he turned it on before Shabbat and left it on until after Shabbat. [1]
Glasses
- A person who regularly wears glasses may wear them in a public domain on Shabbat. He must wear them on his nose, and may not carry them in his pocket or wear them on his forehead or around his neck. [2]
- A person who does not regularly wear glasses but wears, for example, reading glasses for reading only and otherwise carries them in his pocket, may not wear the reading glasses in a public domain. [3]Bifocals which may be worn for both reading and regular use may be worn in a public domain on Shabbat. [4]
- Someone who attaches a string worn around his neck to his glasses, he may wear the glasses with the string attached in a public domain on Shabbat, as long as he wears the glasses on his nose and not around his neck or on his forehead. [5]
- Contact lenses may be worn in a public domain on Shabbat by someone who regularly wears them. However a person who has not yet adjusted to contact lenses may not wear them in a public domain on shabbat, lest he take them out and carry them in his hand. [6]
- Photocromatic lenses, i.e. lenses that change from clear to dark in sunlight, may be worn on Shabbat as long as they are worn for regular use. [7]
- According to some, sunglasses worn only to protect one's eyes from the sun's rays may not be worn in a public domain on Shabbat. [8] This includes sunglasses worn over regular glasses. [9] Those who are lenient have wjat to rely on, especially in a place with an eruv. [10]
- Sunglasses that are worn at all times for eyesight problems are considered like regular glasses, and may be worn in a public domain on Shabbat. [11]
- Sunglasses that are connected to a regular pair of glasses that are regularly worn by a hinge, may be worn in a public domain on Shabbat if the person doesn't remove the sunglasses totally when in the shade, rather flips up the sunglasses while they are still attached. It is best to stringent, however. [12]
- Sunglasses worn on doctor's orders and are not removed even when one is in his house are judged like regular glasses, and may be worn in a public domain on Shabbat. [13]
