To put oil on the fire, there is the same debate about cyborgs: glasses are a mechanical enhancement of the human body, so technically…

Less controversially, hearing aids and HDR goggles would also fit the bill.

Shoes, hats, many kinds of clothes are mechanical enhancements. Gloves for working without hurting one's hands, etc. All those things give a definite advantage over unprotected skin. I don't even start listing tools, which glasses are.
