not really.... maybe a few more cuts and bruises.... but tests have shown no real extra harm for people with glasses
it will probably gouge your eyes out very painfully and you will spend the rest of your life scaring little children with you glass eyeballs
....get contacts

oh yea i guess you are right LOL, for some reason i thought they werent made out of plastic.......get some plastic goggles then?
or wait how bout this......dont crash??
seriously though, i dont think there is any greater risk, im sure someone has thought of that by now

the soft contacts wouldnt be a problem, but I dont know about hard ones
So, smashing your face into an airbag is somehow going to be worse than smashing your face into a steering wheel? 
Just sit at an appropriate distance from the steering wheel and wear your damn seatbelt for crissakes.
If you are really that worried about it you should look into a nice helmet and NASCAR style head restraints...you know, the kind that would have saved Dale Earnhardt. You could start a whole new ricer trend, pulling up to stoplights and staring down your opponent in a e-charger equipped Scion Xa through a Simpson Bandit helmet. That is if the restraints allow you to turn your head that much.
Or you could wear goggles

Beezle, I agree with alot of what you say but not all 
Though the helmets is a GREAT idea dont get me wrong, but Im sure more than 3/4's of the world would rather not wear one. I seen some posts up above, and one said that if Id rather hit the airbag, or the wheel... If I had my seatbelt on, with appropriate distance from the wheel, Id highly doubt my head would hit the wheel, but the airbag could still smash in my face. You might say the airbag wont reach me... but Ive been INSIDE 2 cars with the drivers and passenger side airbag go off. The airbags could more than reach you. (For those that have witnessed airbags going off, didnt you feel like you were deaf for the longest 5 minutes?! lol). I also saw some posts saying "Dont get into an accident" thats just totally mindless because you cant totally control an "accident" because if you could it wouldnt be called an "accident" but thank you to all who put input on this topic.
I was debating wether or not to have my airbags in my car. With the cars that had airbags that deployed while I was inside... I wasnt sure if it was the actual airbag, or the sound of the deployment, that shattered the front windshiled on both cars... (This mis-hap happened when someone was installing an alarm, poking around the wires and accidently probed the wrong one.) If any of you work at dealerships, Im sure you've heard of or witnessed airbags going off... VERY loud sound

You shouldn't get any more injured with wearing glasses. Maybe a red mark on your nose. I was wearing sunglasses when I rammed headfirst into a concrete pillar. All it left was a bit of a red mark. The least of my worries I'd have to say.
What? it's not the picture of Lane Meyer racing the Howard Cosell Asians that made you laugh?
Okay, no excuse to not get the LASIK then.
Plus, they give you Valium
So you lay back in the passengers seat on the way home from the procedure then sit up suddenly and say, "THAT TREE HAS LEAVES!!! I CAN SEE THE LEAVES!" or "OH s**t! I CAN READ THAT SIGN!" then doze back off a little 'til you open your eyes and see something else that previously was just a blur.
