Item 2 is similar to the argument some people use about not wearing seatbelts. If there is an accident, I can get out of (or be removed from) the car faster if I don't wear seatbelts. Yep, they can get the oxygen to you faster.
I wear glasses when I drive because I have gotten hit in the face too many times by grit kicked up from other vehicles. Put your glasses on after you put the helmet on.
Do what you wish when it comes to helmets. I would choose the one that provides the most protection. If one cannot afford the difference in the price of the helmets, then I wonder if one really is in the position to participate in the sport. Safety comes first. Price difference in helmets is not much. A set of tires is a whole lot more money.
