Plenty, but not most. More and more people have accepted glasses now that they've become more fashionable. In fact, anywhere you go, the majority of people are likely wearing glasses if you take the time to notice. They pretty much blend right in anymore, so it's much less noticeable unless you're looking for it.
Both of my kids wanted to need a glasses prescription
That's so wild. Why on earth would anyone want worse eyes? It's a complete pain in the ass. Glasses make people look uglier, you have to keep track of them, they make stuff like 3D movies a pain (cause the glasses don't fit especially well over your normal glasses). I have had glasses since I was a kid and I would love to have been born with healthy eyesight.
Kids see strange things as fashionable. A lot of my kid's (12 year old) friends want braces even though their teeth are straight and healthy. When my kid had to get them, she was the envy of her friend group. -shrug-
