Good question. Being that I have the same eye troubles as the Boy Who Lived, I may be aable to give you some insight.
So, Harry is nearsighted. This means that, without his glasses, the world becomes blurry at a certain distance. For me it's about two inches. For Harry,it is most certainly less than a foot. As you may realize, this screws depth perception. Having worn glasses all his life, Harry has most likely adapted his lifestyle to them, especially when it comes to Quidditch. See, if he knows how much his depth perception is off, he can compensate for it. Why am I talking about depth perception? WELL, if Harry compensates for it in a certain way, he will continue to do so if his vision is suddenly corrected. It'll throw him off-balance considerably. The worse his eyes are, the more he'll be thrown off and the longer it'll take to get used to.
Also, if you recall, in DH, Harry mentally complains that he doesn't know any healing spells. Certainly fixing his eyes would fall under that.
And, last, but certainly not least, those round glasses are how we recognize him? How can we ever forget the round glasses paired with the scar?
