In Texas, the policy is to stop the game immediately when glasses are on the floor or contacts have fallen out of the eyes. You don't want them crunched, broken, mutilated or whathave you. Glasses cost a lot of money and you don't want to be held responsible for it.
Yes, I believe that kids should have spring loaded glasses with straps and safety lenses if they are going to wear them. Contacts are the best solution, both for players and officials. I personally have broken glasses twice and it wasn't because the glasses were on the ground. I was hit in the face with the ball.
