glasses

This could be a double definition.

'better looking' is the first definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how one could define the other.

'spectacles' is the second definition.
('glasses' can be a synonym of 'spectacles')

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for glasses that I've seen before include "Spectacles; schooners" , "They make girls unattractive to Parker" , "Specs" , "Small refracting telescopes" , "Spectacles; tumblers" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
