ANSWER:
بسم اللہ الرحمن الرحیم
الجواب بعون الملک الوھاب اللھم ھدایۃ الحق والصواب
If the forehead and the hard bone of the nose is easily placed in contact with the ground during sajdah (prostration) whilst wearing such glasses then there is no problem. However, one should abstain from wearing such items without a need in prayer thus it is better that such glasses are removed before offering the prayer.
