that's weird (for OP)... I wear glasses too and I wouldn't say my eyesight is BAD bad but I definitely choose to need them. and I've still been able to put my packet in for SWO. My recruiter(s) (one a petty officer and second a Lt) didn't bring it up hardly at all and the Chief medical guy I was in contact with, also didn't bring it up.
Maybe it has to do with location/strictness of whoever you go to see? bc I didn't go to MEPS in the "normal" way, (like staying somewhere overnight and getting everything done in one day at the same place).. I'm in the Norfolk area and my recruiter just took me to JEB Little Creek, went to an office and a civilian-seeming elderly lady just made me take my glasses off, basic eye test with the letters and shooed me out the door in 5 minutes.
I think I'll go get an eye exam and take eye gummies..
