      I do not know exactly, but most astronauts today wear glasses. Even if you start with perfect vision, when you pass 40 years old, the need for glasses becomes quite common. So most crew who fly into space several times, end up using glasses. So it is not really such a problem. Just be careful not to lose them in a spacesuit helmet! Not so easy to get them back on the nose… ha ha
