I think we are talking about two different situations here.
There is no rule concerning glasses or sunglasses. That's where this whole thread started. Again, I am referring to the LL jewelery or metallic items rule, and would only invoke that if it were an impairment to the batter such as reflective sunglasses which were throwing off a glare. In that situation the danger created to the batter by the pitcher wearing those sunglasses is greater than the danger lessened to the pitcher by having the glare reduced to him.
As I said, I would look for any possible way to allow prescription glasses and chances are I would find one. I cannot imagine not allowing a kid to wear prescription glasses, but it is conceivable based on the rule. In the event that I could not, the kid could wear them, he just could not pitch. In no way though would a pair of shiny, metal glasses be considered safety glasses, so I am not sure how those two things are related.
