Carrying glasses?

Someone told me a while ago that if you have a "must wear corrective
lenses" restriction on your medical and wear contacts, that you have to
carry a pair of regular glasses while flying. Is that true? And if so,
does anyone have a reference?

fwiw - my original medical certificate (1987) had words to the effect
of wearing corrective lenses and possess glasses to correct for near
vision or some such. My current medical has the limitation "Holder shall
wear correcting lenses while exercising the privileges of his airman
certificate."

I sure hope I don't need to also carry glasses. I think I've flown
exactly once wearing glasses in more than 19 years.
