Spectacles and glasses are exactly the same in meaning but different in usage. The word spectacles is considered to be an old-fashioned and formal term for Americans but it is still used in British.

There is no practical difference between "glasses" and "spectacles" as both terms refer to the same item used to correct vision. "Spectacles" is more commonly used in British English, while "glasses" is more common in American English.
