I think I'm in favour of glasses because I was nine when I got my first pair, and the difference was *amazing*. I was a tall kid at that age (seriously), and so I was seated at the back of the class. I couldn't read the board (I didn't know), and I was following what was going on by paying attention to the motion of the teacher's hand to determine what was written, and then relying on my memory. Good training, no doubt, but being able to see was like being handed the keys.
My vision has become progressively worse (as it does), and it has long been that I am very anxious about where my glasses are when they are not on my face. If, in an emergency, I was naked, and could only grab one thing - hands down, it would be my glasses. People have seen naked bodies before, and somebody is gonna have a blankie, but my glasses do not grow on trees, nor on the rack at London Drugs. Ooo - I am feeling quite worked up about this: sorry.
I didn't like the move to progressives. That was traumatic - and nauseating.
