Interesting. To me, the glasses always indicated that the spot
indicated required special attention, e.g. for a tricky rhythm or
unexpected accidental--not necessarily to look up at the conductor.
"Pay attention - something unusual", is the way I have seen this
used. I never assumed it meant to look anywhere but on the page.

Is this a jazz vs. classical distinction, or just a matter of
personal interpretation?
BTW, this symbol is amazingly old. I've seen it in an early-15th c.
MS. No conductors back then!
