Chin strap hasn't really been that big of an annoyance for me. I'd like to see face shields where you can put your glasses perscription in, so you don't have to wear glasses at all (no, I don't do contacts).
That's not really possible, each lens in a pair of glasses deflects the light for one eye only. A visor would be in front of both, deflecting all light that passes through it, it wouldn't be possible to separate the light for each eye, and would really only have one focal point, so you wouldn't be able to see through it clearly.

Wearing your glasses close one eye & try to look at something towards the edge of the lens with your peripheral vision, bring it towards the center of your view & see how it gets clearer.

A curved lens gets really thick at the edge (assuming you're short sighted), I've a fairly flat pair of glasses & a curved pair of Oakley Splinters, the Splinters are a fair bit thicker at the edge
