Morphology
The compound is fully compositional: 'eyeglass' names the object and 'wearer' denotes someone who wears it, so a B1 learner who knows both words can derive 'a person who wears eyeglasses' easily. This noun + wearer pattern is transparent and cross-linguistically common; the slight singular form 'eyeglass' does not prevent comprehension.
Etymology
Eyeglass wearer is a simple image: it names a person who puts a small eyeglass on their face and is the wearer of it, like clothing for the eyes. So it means 'a person who wears glasses to improve their vision'.
