We say "gafas". "Lentes" are the cristals used to make glasses, telescopes, microscopes, etc.:
Un telescopio está formado por dos lentes. En los microscopios se pueden combinar varios tipos de lentes. Tengo que cambiar los cristales de mis gafas: me van a poner lentes progresivas. Las lentillas se conocen como "lentes de contacto". Of course, this is like this in Spain |

Some day I want you to tell us about how you ended up in a lovely tropical place like the Canary Islands having come from England. (Or is it in another thread somewhere that I missed?)

I was joking, because you've corrected me twice running. Nothing important

OK - but can you tell me what ¿vienes a por mí? means?
Does it mean "are you getting at me?" ? |

Yes, I think so, to get at = ir a por, meterse con (though I'm not sure at all )

Has anyone ever heard "anteojos"? I've heard that term used also for glasses.
