You can get prescription diopters that fit some fpv goggles or some of the box style goggles will allow you to wear your glasses as well. Might be a bit of try someone's if you can.

Hi FlDronie,

From the sounds of it, you are looking to start with an analog video system.
There will be folks that say to just go straight to HD digital since it is way better.
Yes, it is, however, it is also quite costly and is certainly not necessary to fly.
The reality is that an initial HD digital setup will set you back about $ 1,000 USD
by the time you get the goggles and a quad with a digital system. Then there
is the choice of which HD digital system; there are at least 3 competing and not
compatible digital systems. If you want digital, great, but if you don't need it
then don't let someone talk you into it.

I, too, were eyeglasses so that is a major consideration when I look for goggles.
Personally, I do not like those binocular type goggles that most of the folks are
in love with. I much prefer looking at a single screen rather than looing down
two tubes with a little screen in each one. Depth perception or not, I don't like
them. Even having the correct diopter in them doesn't work for me either. 
Consequently, my goggles are the "Box" type. As a bonus, the screen on both 
of my goggles is removable for use on the bench or on a tri-pod out in the field.

There should be a drone shop somewhere down there where you can go and
try on various goggles and see if your glasses fit. They should also be able to 
fire up a quad and let you see what the image looks like since you can't tell
anything looking at a black screen. 

The next, and very important, consideration is the RC Link Radio Transmitter
(AKA: Transmitter). You can get a cheap one or something better, maybe a
full size, full feature, one. You will probably, get one with the ELRS RC Link
protocol as that is the one that is in vogue at the present time. Most of the
folks tout this protocol and suggest it. 

Now, you need a quad. Well, for analog, the EMAX TinyHawk III is a good 
choice, but certainly, not the only one. If you are not buying a combo kit,
then that opens up the options.

Later, iFly   High Five
