Details if I see in glasses (9)
I believe the answer is:
specifics
'details' is the definition.
('specific' can be a synonym of 'detail')
'if i see in glasses' is the wordplay.
'see' becomes 'C' (the word for the letter, according to Chambers).
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'glasses' becomes 'specs' (spectacles).
'if'+'i'+'c'='ific'
'ific' going inside 'specs' is 'SPECIFICS'.
(Another definition for specifics that I've seen is " Details, not generalities".)
I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
