A long-running theme of having the various incarnations of Velma Dinkley lose her glasses.

Velma is severely nearsighted, rendering her nearly blind without her glasses. When she loses them she typically stumbles around knocking things over, or crawls on the ground feeling for them with her hands.  There are occasions when she has deliberately lost them, or had them taken from her.
She frequently exclaims "My glasses. I can't see a thing without my glasses!" (or a variation of it) when she loses them.

  • What a Night for a Knight: Scooby warns her of the Black knight behind them. Scooby runs into her and then knocks Velma to the ground and in his run causes Velma to lose her glasses. Velma mistakes the Black Knight for Shaggy Rogers, and gives the latter cough syrup to help his voice.

  • Jeepers, It's the Creeper: Happens when the Shaggy and Scooby encounter the Creeper, by running into her whilst wearing the box of silverware on their bodies. Later, Velma dares to defy the monster into "hitting a girl with glasses". The Creeper snatches her glasses (instead of her losing them), which causes a disgusted Velma to kick him in the knee and take the glasses back. (Surprisingly, she was able to grab them/find them with ease.) 
  • That's Snow Ghost: Happens when Scooby-Doo and Velma (the latter chained to a wood log) are running away from the titular Snow Ghost. Scooby picks her glasses (causing the girl to demand them back) to see that the creature has sent after them another log with dynamite strapped to it.
