Here are a couple of the interview quotes I was talking about.  First, from Teen Magazine, 2001:

What he [Daniel] and Harry have in common: "I'm supposed to wear glasses."
What they don't: "I keep losing them."

And from Nickelodeon Magazine, January 9, 2002:

Do you think you look like Harry Potter? "Without my glasses, I don't think so.  But with my glasses I suppose I do quite."
Do you wear glasses normally? "I'm supposed to, but I don't.  I break them.  I lost half a tooth on my first pair.  I chewed the end of my glasses so much that half of my tooth came off."

Daniel does not wear contacts.  The contacts irritated his eyes, so they left them off.  His eyes are not green in the movie.  I kept hearing things like in SS/PS they were green in closeups.  I watched the DVD over and over, pausing at *every* closeup, zooming in, etc.  They are NOT green.  They are as blue as blue can get.  A beautiful blue, I don't have a problem with them being blue.  The only, I repeat, ONLY time I've seen them green is in the international trailer for CoS.  Once again, I've not seen CoS itself, so I can't speak for that.
