Every single person who wears glasses would drop them in a second if any other viable and sustainable alternative shows up.

Not really, glasses have long since become a fashion statement and many people wear some without needing them.

I need glasses to correct my heterotropia and even if there was some magic cure for that I'm not sure if I'd stop wearing my glasses to be honest; I kinda like them and how they make me look.

I could get laser surgery, but I choose glasses. I prefer how I look with them than without them, and sometimes they double as eye protection.

I know some people who don't like their glasses, but dislike how contacts feel more. As for me - I don't wear contacts that much because they're a recurring expense.
