I have reading glasses that I take on and off many times a day. I use a Jabra BT250V and don't have any conflict with the glasses.
One of my co-workers wears glasses full time and he prefers the Jabra BT2xx "around the back of the ear" style over the "hang it off your ear style." With regards to the "hang it off your ear style" of headset, I think many of that style headsets are designed to not be worn continuously. Instead, the intent is that when the phone rings you'll pick up the headset, hang it on your ear, answer the call. That's why many of them have a loop for a cord to go around your neck. And, if you look at this being the way to use a headset, a caller ID display makes a lot more sense.
