If, you do not have enough faith to trust your eyesight to God and stoop to the level of wearing glasses, any metallic frame (which would look like silver or gold) or any plastic frame (which would look like pearl) would, of course, be a sin. About the only option you would have would be a clear plastic frame or maybe a plain black or brown one (red, of course, is the color of passion and would not be right at all).
I hope you know I'm just kidding.
I see nothing wrong with eye glasses, dentures, medication, or doctors.
Read Ecclesiasticus chapter 38, verses 1-15 in the 1611 King James Bible (not the newer versions that have deleted the Apocrypha).

I agree Sam. I knew a guy who - not once, but on two seperate occasions threw his eyeglasses on the floor at the altar and "danced" on them.
It was sad. He had to learn the same lesson twice. And I am assuming that he learned it the second time.
And for the real old timers- the 1611 KJV passage Sam refers to can be read here:
