Hello Stclaire,
Thank you for your question.
My search returned the following results for children’s books about
having to wear eyeglasses for the first time.
"Glasses for D.W." is a wonderful book:
The book (part of the popular "Arthur" series for preschool kids)
comes with colorful decorative stickers that the child can paste onto
pictures on the pages. My colleague Pinkfreud told me that when her
friend’s 3-year-old son got glasses, this book was a big help in
making it seem like a fun thing.

Baby Duck and the Bad Eyeglasses
“Ages 3-6. Baby Duck is not pleased with her new red glasses. She
doesn't want to jump or play because they might fall off, and, worse,
she doesn't even think she looks like herself. Her parents insist that
the glasses suit her just fine, but it's not until Grandpa comes along
and holds a real dialogue with her about the glasses that she comes to
appreciate them. Every page is rooted in truth, from the parents' wish
for Baby to just get over it and like the glasses to the little
duckling's feelings that glasses somehow make her different. It takes
a perceptive grandfather, who reminds her that he, too, wears red
glasses, to show that glasses change nothing except how much better
you see.”

Dogs Don't Wear Glasses
“Nanny Needles, readers discover in the pictures, needs glasses, but
she places the blame for all the accidents around the house on her
poor dog: When she dumps the trash on the floor, Seymour is
reprimanded for his clumsiness; when she washes his blanket and bones
instead of the laundry, she decides that Seymour needs a haircut to
improve his eyesight. Finally, Seymour is dragged to the doctor, for
glasses; the doctor reluctantly obliges. Nanny, donning the spectacles
just ``to see how they look,'' discovers that they make things look
much better. (Picture book. 3-5)”
