A common sentiment is that if glasses were more stigmatized and prohibitively expensive than they already can be, then their users very well could fall under this specific definition of "disabled" in question.
That, but a disability can also just be so because it requires accommodations from others. People with glasses don't really need accommodations past the glasses (or at least afaik).
Never heard anything like that, although I'll say that depending on how bad your eyesight is without glasses it can be a big deal. My vision without my glasses is severely awful.
Wearing glasses is a disability, yes. In the societal model of disability is also one that is fairly minor and treated effectively; because society has done all sorts of things (in general) to make wearing glasses easy to acquire and vision impairment that minor manageable.
Also a huge amount of people have vision impairment. Turns out eyes are more of a suggestion and easy for your body to fuck up. I have no idea how people lived without vision correction for tens of thousands of years...

I've said before the the human eye is very strong evidence against intelligent design. Do you expect me to believe an omnipotent, omniscient, perfect creator designed something so obviously stupid and faulty? No way. Unless God's motto is, "Eh, good enough." and he happened to get really drunk the day he made us
hell yeah, and lets put the part that actually catches the light all the way in the back, right behind all this other shit that can potentially get in the way
oh, and lets make sure that if it catches too much light, it permanently breaks
Good thing we made gestation short and childbirth safe and painless, means there won't be as much of a problem if a bunch of them get their goop balls broken. Also good choice making their development to maturity time less than 20 years.

Literacy wasn’t a big fucking deal for hundreds of thousands of years. And we are very good at peripheral vision which is what we use to track prey.

My guess would be no.
