Del replies :
In fact, it's quite bothering that the glasses have not been causing
more troubles already in the first 5 books. So they prevent him from
seeing well during a rainy match ? Big deal. I wear glasses too, and I
can tell you that they are much more annoying that just that, in RL.
For one, Harry is lucky they never fell off his nose during one of his
acrobatic encounters with LV or any other baddy : falling, jumping,
being dragged and carried, and so on, and they never move ??
And for two, he never has to change them. Lucky boy, that his vision
should have stabilised as early as 11.

Del, who wonders why JKR made Harry wear glasses, if they don't cause
him any trouble.
