She has a Fresnel prism installed in her glasses to correct the double vision. [Story](http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2268073/Hillary-Clinton-Does-Secretary-State-double-vision-blood-clot-scare.html) They seem to think the vision problem will eventually go away. > [@Bob Ducca](#): > > The glasses are a result of her concussion and blood clot. She has double-vision and needs the glasses to get her eyes to focus correctly. ---

> [@Siam\_Sam](#): > > (And no sneaking peaks at her cleavage, guys!) Damn you! I wasn’t going to click on **Magiver** ’s link until you said that. Then I had no choice. Now I feel dirty. And there wasn’t even any cleavage. Oh yes, the OP. Um, no. She looks unwell and that’s sorta the opposite of hot in my book. But for the record, I don’t find her all that attractive in her younger pictures either. I still think she’s a hell of a politician, though. ---

I’m kind of astonished that so many folks here are suggesting she’s down right ugly. She’s no super model, but I think she’s an attractive enough woman (by real world standards, not Hollywood standards). Heck, she look great for 65. ---

Back in the 90s, she looked reasonably attractive, but the years haven’t been kind to her. Heck, the years aren’t kind to most folks; it’s nothing particular to her. I suppose she looks about how you’d expect for a 65-year-old, but very few folks still look actually hot at 65. ---

> [@TriPolar](#): > > Can you look hotter if you’re not hot to start with? I wouldn’t call her hotter, but she looks less fake, which is a step in that direction. I don’t think she’s trying to look hotter or hot though. Its all relative; -200ºF is much hotter than absolute zero but its still pretty damn cold. ---

Well she certainly is better looking than [Madeline Albright](http://jewelry.about.com/od/celebrityjewelryprofiles/ig/Madeleine-Albright-Pins/Madeleine-Albright--2009.-861.htm) or [Jean Kirkpatrick.](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Od_jeane-kirkpatrick-official-portrait_1-255x301.jpg) Of course, WHO CARES! ---

Hillary was plenty attractive in the early 90’s and earlier. And then she did exactly what most people do in their 50’s and 60’s: she visibly aged a LOT. She looks just about the same as any 60 year old lady. To rant on and on about how unattractive she is is rather silly. ---

Thank you for pointing this out. I have long been fond of her hotness as portrayed in these two shots. I would have to say that she is the First Lady who I found most personally attractive on the basis of considering the best photo I know of from any time in her life - acknowledging of course that this is a matter of personal taste. I also think she’s currently pretty well preserved. Note that competition in this pool includes Barbara Bush and Eleanor Roosevelt, so it’s gonna be hard not to put Hillary somewhere near the top no matter how you work it. ---

She’s no super model, but I think she’s an attractive enough woman (by real world standards, not Hollywood standards). Heck, she look great for 65. I agree. She’s not as hot as Kate Upton or Miranda Kerr. But she’s as hot as Diane Keaton or Meryl Streep. ---
