If you lose your glasses easily then you can see just fine without them. I've never lost a pair of glasses because I can only see colors without them. Mine never break because they're made of a special material that makes them more durable upon being dropped and hit with something. It's why for years I played basketball in them and never had a broken pair once. Cleaning and wiping is fairly simple if you're wearing a shirt. If they've never felt comfortable then you haven't tried enough pairs on or you haven't worn them long enough. Glasses are much like shoes, a new pair may not necessarily feel comfortable at first. You have to wear them quite a few times before you adjust and feel completely comfortable in them. I've only had my current glasses for a week and I haven't worn them as extensively as my previous pair, which were a lot thinner, so I'm not used to the shape or feel of the new ones, but I don't hate them. I'm adjusting slowly. And if you take proper care of your glasses you won't have a screw come lose.

Speaking as a person who has had to wear them since I was seven (so 11 years now), they're not as awful as you make them out to be. Quite candidly speaking, I think I look better with glasses in some cases, and contacts with others. I absolutely hate my contacts because I get massive headaches from wearing them for more than about 12 hours. But glasses? No pain whatsoever. Sure I may have to occasionally rub my nose or ear, but I don't get awful migraines from them ever. I've only ever gotten small headaches and that's only from trying to read stuff that I didn't need my glasses for because it was so close up.
