Last week, XpanD began shipping its second-generation X102 DLP-link glasses for 3D television. Unlike most active shutter glasses, these don’t need to have a separate emitter in order to sync with the 3D television. These glasses support 3D-ready HDTVs and projectors that use DLP technology. The display will flash a signal to the glasses to [...]

Yes they do, these.
All of them that are available, from all companies fit over your glasses.
Now some have sizes (some IMAX glasses anyway) and the ones that are too small for you, would not work - but that is a size issue not a design one.
When people are willing to pay about $1000 a pop, I bet you'ff find someone to grind a prescription lens and laminate a LCD shutter on it. Until then, or until there are 3D screens that work without glasses (so far they have severe limitations) this class of glasses is it.
Perhaps if a projector style system (front or rear) uses a spinning polarizer or color shifter, then you would not need the shutter glasses. Just polarizers or with Dolby 3D, a color shifter. They too will only go over glasses. Till some custom makes those, maybe only $900 a piece. I do not know if the "spinners" are available yet for a nominal home environment.
