When I had vision correction surgery back in 2002, it'd been after basically a lifetime of wearing glasses. Even when a kid my parents at least got the safety lenses for my otherwise standard glasses. It's not a substitute for proper PPE, but for things like mowing, using a saw and other activities where particulates might get stirred up, it was good enough we thought. When I didn't need glasses anymore, I realized how many things I did where eye protection was a good thing.
This article is someone that had to go to the eye doctor when just using normal glasses when goggles were needed.

As a note, I see that proper prescription eyewear that is appropriate PPE does exist if you wear glasses and don't want to have goggles over glasses.
