In this episode, Kramer tries to get George a discount at the optometrist's after his eyeglasses are seemingly stolen from the health club, and Jerry suspects his girlfriend Amy of having an affair with his cousin Jeffrey. George's first set of replacement glasses are women's glasses, so he tries to trade frames with a blind man. Rance Howard appears as the blind man in this episode, while Anna Gunn plays Amy. This episode ends with the dedication "In memory of our friend, John Oteri," who worked as a camera operator on the show.
