Although we always thought it was just John Lennon who wore the glasses in the Beatles, it turns out that McCartney occasionally needed glasses, as well.
This Daily Mail article includes the following, with this Frank Hermann photo during the Sgt. Pepper recording-session meeting:

Here are some pics of McCartney in specs:
