so what do the glasses wearers do? wear contacts? wear shaded prescription
glasses?

Just wear 'em, if you are really worried about them falling off buy
those string things from an optician for a couple of dollars.

For my daily commute I wear prescription safety glasses supplied by my
employer because they are free! but I have never damaged a pair at
least not riding.

The worst time is waiting at traffic lights when glasses tend to steam
up a bit but soon clear once you are moving again. The only other
problem I can think of is riding in the rain. I have found that once
the rain drops on the lens are enough to make seeing difficult I rub
them with my fingers to 'wet' the lens (ie smear the water over the
surface) and they are usually Ok for the rest of the journey.

Anyway I haven't really found wearing glasses on a bike any problem at
all.
