Eye glasses bend light so that it hits the correct place on the lens of the eye and then the correct place on the retina. When the eye globe is too short or too long, the light passing through the lens is bent but doesn't hit the retina in the appropriate place. Eyeglasses correct this by bending the light to the degree needed so that when it is further shifted by the lens of the eye, it will be properly focused on the correct area of the retina. Clear as mud?
Sometimes they do magnify images as well, but that is not their primary role. Tell those college buddies that they should grow up and act your age (or take a course in optics!).
