Furrie head and glasses?
I were glasses and more then likely I will be geting a fursuit. can you were glasses under the head? Or will I need to tell the maker I were glasses, or what?
Glasses can be tough, massively. I've known a few folks who have done it, with no success reported. Typically, you'll have a guide or work in a group. I take it contacts aren't an option....
I use glasses under mine just fine! You can keep them from fogging by using wax you can get at sporting goods store for that purpose, or you can just put shaving cream on the lenses and polish it off and that works too.(try that on a spot in your bathroom mirror when you shower, you will see what I mean)
Its best to use shell type heads rather than the bac's to give you more room, but they are better for ventilation anyways. I make my heads by forming the head with paper mache', then using white glue to apply cloth strips, then burlap strips, and remove the paper mache' to give you a hollow head. Finally, I put in a hard hat (bump hat actually) which is glued in with barge cement and closed cell foam spacers. Spacing from the front is much less than the back to give a wider vision range, but to allow for the glasses. I am about to make a new raccoon head and can photo-document the whole thing if you like. People call this method the "John Doe" method cause you start with a generic looking head shape. It takes a while to do it but its super easy.
Materials list:
12" balloons
black cotton cloth
gunny sack material
newspaper strips/balls
white glue (lots)
Some sort of stick that stands up to hold it while you work on it.
bump cap (hard hat)
closed cell foam or other spacing material
cloth tape measure
and whatever you use to fur it, eyes, fangs, whatever

Whoops, left out the wire supports... zip tie the joints, then hot melt them together and to the shell on the inside. You will need those if you don't use fiberglass resin to solidify the glued up shell.
Some people make a plaster shell for a prototype, then use it as a pattern to make a wire frame. I think thats because you can make the prototype so cheap from paper and flour paste before you spend any money. Having lots of room inside is critical if you are claustrophobic(like me) or wear glasses(like me). For wire, I use very light solid core wire to make a pattern for each wire, then copy it in strong wire using pliers... I think it's 3/16 for the final but don't quote me on that.
I have seen 2 fiberglass ones in recent weeks that are pretty lightweight, maybe I will try one to see if it works for me?
The shell method works better for the bigger heads, but for a tighter head I prefer a bump cap wire frame to a balaclava just cause its cooler. Just imho.

If you are making the fursuit, be sure to take your glasses into account. If you are having it made, make sure that the person making it knows that you will be wearing glasses with it so they can add the extra room. I've got a mask that was made for me, and the maker forgot to put that extra room in, so we are currently working on getting it adjusted, which may require us to ship it back and forth a few times to get it right. So definitely make sure that the person making it takes it into account. Will save a lot of time and effort.
If Remember right there was a suiter who was waring glasses designed for use with a gasmask. I've found several sites that sell such items. Here's a link to a set I've been looking at http://www.eyeglass.com/gasmaskframes.html

If you plan on getting new glasses in the future, I suggest keeping your old pair. I have to wear glasses or I'll be blind. So my solution to the same problem you have is to take an older pair of glasses, pop the lens out, position the lenses on tape....and then to place them in the head and put the head on. That worked...but, I am about to go a bit further, put in velcro in the head, and then put the lenses in better kind of clear tape.
That way I can see...but I am comfortable at the same. If the glasses lenses get something on them I can take them, wipe them clean, and then re-put them in there. I hope that helps!
I had glasses when I first wanted a suit, and the person who I wanted to get mine from couldn't accommodate glasses, but my fursona has glasses, so I considered just putting one of my pairs of glasses on the head. Now I have contact lenses, and can finally afford a suit, so the maker is going to add glasses to it just for appearances. I'm quite excited, and I am planning on going to AC 09, which will be my first furry convention.
AC 09 will be my first con too, and i wear glasses as well, i'm lucky enough to see just as well without them tho
WOOF WOOF, cuddle time now plz?
I know it's really late in the game, but if the apertures for sight are close to your eyes, you can get new glasses lenses and mount them inside the head over the eyesight areas. I had that done and it worked like a charm.
Note: There must be air circulation in the head, however, or the lenses will fog up almost instantaneously. I had two small fans, one mounted in the nose blowing inward and one at the top of the head blowing outward. Fantastic circulation, could suit for hours with perfect vision.
I had my head built with glasses in mind, they are a pain to get in the head, but they fit in the head fine, and I used the shaving cream on the lens trick and it gives me about 2 hours with no fogging up, wich is about the maximum time I can stay in suit before I need a nice long cold shower anyways.
here is a handy tip
anti-fog spray. more then a life saver 
you can get them at like sporting or paintball stores both rl and online ^.^
i built my own head and my glasses fit fine. here is the design http://matrices.net/matricessuit.asp . it worked for me. ![The Knights who say "Ni!"](http://www.anthrocon.org/sites/all/modules/smileys/random_smileys/th_The_Knights_Who_Say_Ni_by_livius.gif "The Knights who say "Ni!"")
in actuality you may be able to get Prescription (I have an irking feeling that I mispelled that) Athlete's goggles. Get them with a very flexible elastic and put it on the head itself as both a aesthetic and helpful item.
I am trained in HazMat response. Before I got my eyes sanded down I wore glasses, and I had a special insert for my respirator. It was basically a pair of plastic rims with prescription lenses in them, attached to an elastic band that went 'round my head. Worked quite well, and did not interfere with the mask.
Generally fursuit heads do not have the extra room for glasses under them, but I would talk to the suit maker about it. The odds are that if you warn them ahead of time they can build the head to accommodate your spectacles without to much of a problem. I will warn you however, from my own experience, that glasses will fog easily under a fursuit head.
