in japan and South Korea, glasses are seen as an accessory rather than something to help your sight, so get ready to gouge a bunch of Japanese and Korean eyes
One exception to this I think, if you are in the public eye (heh) and get LASIC for the convenience but you continue to wear fake glasses for the sake of your image, you get a pass.
Posers. Pure and simple.
Wearers of glasses used to be bullied for it.
I don't just mean made fun of, I mean ruthlessly hunted and beaten for being different.
Now glasses are cool, hip, fashionable and accepted. If you need them. If you don't and fake it, Go. Fuck. Yourself. Take those glasses off and shove them right up your ass.
So following that line of logic, people can't wear wigs, get dentures, wear colored contact lens, dye hair, wear a watch for accessory, wear a scarf on a hot day, wear perfume, wear a cap indoors, or a uniform outside work because they're posing?
As far as I see it, getting people to wear it for fashion has several benefits:
1. Decrease stigma about wearing glasses. Which would lead to less bullying.
2. Decrease price by increasing market size and competition (economics).
3. Motivate manufacturers to create better designed glasses due to increased demands.
4. More fashion accessories, especially for guys.
And you didn't provide me any examples of how this negatively affects other people.
This is the same argument people use for calling certain hairstyles cultural appropriation. We used to get judged for it before so now you can't do it.
Here's my 2 cents.
A. They're called glasses. What's the part made of glass? The lenses. You poke those out they're technically not glasses anymore.
B. It's like wearing a cast without an injury. You're just doing it for attention.
Downvote me if you like. It's not going to change my views.
A. The name doesn't imply anything. Sunglasses aren't always made of glass. They're also called spectacles and eye wear. When someone ask for a glass of water you don't need to literally give him a glass of water. A plastic mug would be absolutely normal.
B. Fashion accessories are worn for attention. That's the whole point. Why wear a belt if your pants are falling off? Why wear ear rings which have no functional purpose?
And don't worry about downvotes. You're not on the opposition like me. I've been constantly downvoted despite giving very valid reasons and still no one has answered my question. Looks like I'm surrounded by people who hate others for nothing :(
People should be allowed to wear what they want, I think. It's not like they're hurting anyone. They're just wearing an accessory that they think is nice, you don't have to think it's nice coz you don't have to wear it.
I think maybe because you are suggesting that it's OK to appropriate what is essentially an adaptive device ment to overcome a handicap, for the sake of "fashion."

It'd be like if I started using crutches because I thought they looked cool.
