The Night Vision does not work through glass. The glass will reflect the IR light signal.
I'm guessing the IR light is all on the outside/front of the binoculars. Light from backside of binoculars going into eyes is most likely visible light and not IR, so there should not be a problem with interference from the optics of the eyeglasses since they are between the binoculars and the user's eye. However, one of the reviewers said, "Not comfortable for glasses wearers." So, that's worth considering.
But, I wonder... let's say the user has some inexpensive reading glasses that they don't mind sacrificing for experimentation. Maybe they could remove the arms, trim a bit from the width of each lens, and then fabricate (3D print?) a new frame to attach the downsized glasses inside of the binoculars' eye cup. That may be a lovely solution. Kluge, to be sure, but could be workable.
If these are true night vision goggles, they simply amplify the ambient light. So yes in fact you will be able to see with them using your prescription eyeglasses. However I do not see a eyeglass adaption eye cup with this product. What this "expert" answer is referring to is thermal optics. You in fact can see through glass with these "Night Vision" Optics..... they probably should get somebody who has been trained on Night Optics and stop calling this person who reads off a piece of paper, an expert.
