I spent 6 years in the Navy, 73 to 79. After boot training and 
both A B and C schools was assigned to the SSBN 599 Gold crew
to serve out my enlistment.  To answer your question Yes the
gold rimmed glasses do work fine in both EBA's and OBA's.
Altho they are not issued as a matter of course to all wearers
of glasses.  But rather it seemed to be up to the skipper if he will
authorize it.  You needed both a willing and determined corpsman and 
a skipper willing to spend part of his budget to get them.  Having
served under three skippers and two corpsman, the first skipper and
corpsman no luck, the second skipper and first corpsman no luck,
the second skipper and second corpsman got me the glasses, the third
skipper and second corpsman again no luck.  So some get them some don't
This is probably more that you wanted.  Enjoy.
