I've never had it requested here. One LCA jokingly asked me if I had one, but I don't think it's very well enforced at my airline unless you start causing problems (cancelling flights because you're missing correction)
Personally I wear contacts, so I typically carry a spare set of contacts as well as glasses just in case.
