I don't consider a refractive error a "disease".  It is not a
health/sight threatening
situation to the person (assuming the person is an adult and no danger
of
developing amblyopia).The person is only a
danger when driving (if not meeting the dmv requirements) and should
realize that
she/he places own self and others in harms way while driving
uncorrected.

We simply remind ourselves: "The patient has the disease".  In other
words, if the patient is not motivated to comply with/use a therapy,
non compliance is the patient's problem.  If he patient does not meet
the legal driving requirements, I report that to the MOT and inform the
patient that she must legally use them driving.

You can't help; if poor vision does't bother your friend it shouldn't
bother you and nothing you can do will make her wear them.  Don't get
in a car with her if she drives without them.

What do you do when you get a patient whose in denial about needing glasses?
My friend obviously can barely see past her nose but won't wear them, it just
seems so stupid and I don't know how to help.
