| + | {{w|New Year's glasses}} are novelty glasses typically worn at New Year's Eve parties and are shaped like the digits of the upcoming year. They were popularized in the late 1990s and early 2000s since the middle digits (9 and 0) had holes large enough to look through or mount lenses into. | ||

The first three are wearing such glasses in the shape of the numerals "2023", in honor of the upcoming New Year. It appears that Cueball has pursued a different approach and may have obtained laser eye surgery. Usually, this is geared towards adjusting a person's corneas towards correcting long- or short-sightedness, so that glasses are less necessary in everyday life. |

Realising he's probably in error, an immediate second guess is that the new arrival is someone called Mike, but we don't know if Cueball is any more correct in this. |

| + | In the title text, it becomes clear that this is because he has had the laser actually shape and/or burn the digits straight onto his eyeballs, obviously without any regard to his normal vision (not notably having required correction, before now). | ||

| + | In actuality, {{w|scleral tattooing}} can be done for 'cosmetic' reasons, with {{w|corneal tattooing}} claiming both cosmetic and vision-improvement benefits, but the efficacy and safety of the process is not universally accepted. | ||
