I've already thought about the idea of "What if your glasses fall off ?" and discarded that because it could be easily overcome by a restriction stating that a 2nd pair be accessible. (Also note that in 23 years I've NEVER had my glasses fall apart or fall off except during rough sports) Is it because passengers get nervous about the pilot wearing glasses ?
