Yeah, sorry about the age but it's for legal reasons or we'd have to get parental permission, verify that the parent is actually legal guardian etc

Are glasses permitted. Only, I don't know how "advanced" glasses/spectacles were in those days.
And what about an Eastern-style photo... dark skin, make-up on the eyes...

If you wear modern eye-glasses may I suggest you take them off for the photo, although primitive spectacles were around from the mid 1600s, the idea of holding them onto the face by a support on the bridge of the nose and two arms that looped behind the ears came later.

In this period a monocle or a pair of pinc-nez were more common. Poor people just suffered.
