Where a person (usually a guy) is barely worth attention with his glasses on, but when he takes them off you notice how very hot and attractive he is.

Based off Superman, it's the inability to notice that someone wearing glasses and that person not wearing glasses are the same person.
Kyle: Tim? Is that you?
Tim: Yeah.
Kyle: Oh. I almost didn't notice you with your glasses on.
Tim: Yep. That's Clark Kent Syndrome for you.
