Glasses are a good reminder not to rub your eyes. Maybe a more plausible explanation for the reduction in risk seen in numerous observational studies

Or how about people with glasses have better fitting masks to avoid the common fogging of glasses caused by ill-fitting masks. Better fitting masks = better protection.

Maybe droplet size matters more than just surface area of eyes vs respiratory tract? Small molecules are exhaled before binding/infection, large droplets are swallowed/destroyed, but any droplet size that hits the eyes could cause infection if it is carrying virus.
