Sure, things have gotten in my eye, but I normally just can rub it out, and it happens so infrequently, I don't see the need to always be wearing glasses.

The only real way I see glasses being useful is if you live in an area where there are few hills and the landscape is flat, so if you're riding in the morning or night when you're facing the sun, you're not looking straight into the light. that... and the coolness factor.

If I do get glasses one day myself, It will probably just be for the coolness factor. Also, I don't like looking at the world with a tint.
