you're right, so here is a possible quick-thought solution:

his muggle parents wouldn't have known that its possible to fix eyesight with magic (you can regrow bones or suddently make them vanish, right?) so he was the only student with limited eyesight who "needed" glasses. later he got used to it and didn't even ask (not sure if that was discussed once) and maybe the teachers wear them for the effect only, but thats weird as glasses should be muggle artefacts - or not?

Harry never had muggle parents. They went to Hogwarts.

i'm sorry to have used the wrong word, i just happen to not know the english phrase and didnt look it up either before sending. i meant the "family" where he grew up.
