Let me address your second paragraph first. If a player goes down in the paint with an injury, how do you handle stopping play? If a player's glasses comes off in the paint, wouldn't you use the same criteria to stop play as you would for an injury? Of course you would. Depending on the situation, you might sound your whistle immediately, or wait until team control is established.
Ok I think we are on the same page. Or let them play on b/c the players clear and the player who lost the glasses can pick them up, and if this is the situation then i would stop play so he could adjust his glasses.
but if you go to page 13 of the 2000-02 NFHS Basketball Handbook and go to the year 1963.
You lost me here. ?

Mark, I am a bit surprised about so many players wareing glasses where you officiate. Is it because there is a difference between lower level vs higher level, (i.e. HS/college vs HSJV on down), and/or during season vs off season?

Where did I lose you? Go to page 13 of the 2000-02 Edition of the NFHS's Basketball Handbook, and go to the paragraph for year 1963; this paragraph addresses you concerns in your posting that I was responding to about a rules reference.
And while I agree with you that college players do not wear glasses, you will find players at the high school level and below wearing glasses all of the time. Even in CYO' men's recreational leagues, and AAU and YBOA nationals, you will find players wearing glasses. Not everybody has perfect vision like basketball officials do.
