Coke bottles

Hi,

Another difficulty:

"Old guy across the alley watching TV
says he saw a cab earlier tonight with two guys walking around the hood."

"Description? He see anything?"

"Kind of saw. Guy's got glasses
like Coke bottles."

So "glasses like Coke bottles" means that he had big glasses or what?

Thanks.

'Glasses like coke bottles' are very thick-lensed-- like looking through the bottom of a Coca-cola bottle. The old guy must be quite myopic.
