The answer is MONOCLE.
The crossword clue "Single eye-glass" with the answer "MONOCLE" refers to a type of optical device that is designed to be worn over one eye to improve vision. A monocle is a circular lens that is often associated with a historical or aristocratic image, as it was commonly worn by gentlemen in the 19th and early 20th centuries.
Unlike modern glasses that have two lenses and are supported by arms resting on the ears, a monocle is held in place by the muscles around the eye or by a string attached to the wearer's clothing. The monocle became a symbol of sophistication and status, often seen in portrayals of wealthy or intellectual characters. The word "monocle" itself comes from the Greek words "monos," meaning "single," and "oculus," meaning "eye," which perfectly matches the clue's description of a "single eye-glass."
