Is it OK to wear glasses on roller coasters?

You can on most, but you risk losing them. I always put mine in a hard case in a bumbag (fanny pack) so the restraints don't crush them. If your eyesight is bad enough you need them to enjoy the experience, try contacts or get them fitted tight and have a cord on them, which you could clip to your top.
