Glasses are barely an inconvenience; you can’t compare them to cancer. A 1% drop rate on making my life significantly worse is terrible odds, especially given the monetary cost.
For all numbers I know (I didn’t look anything up, but so did nobody else) I’m at a bigger risk of being run over when I cross the street to the store. And glasses surely are a bigger inconvenience than not having onions when you wanna cook or beers when the footie is on.
To each their own. I know plenty of people who don’t even notice they’re wearing them. I also know people who are or were very bothered by their glasses

It’s an extreme example where the decision is easy: death vs hair loss.
When it comes to more subtle examples: glasses vs < 1% risk of blindness, that’s a decision that people will have more different opinions on.
