I can only think of about 900 different ways to go about it. The best bet is to get started then ask us when you run into problems. Also, check 3D Content Central. I seem to remember seeing a pair of glasses there.

Only model half the part. Use sketch pictures to trace on. Check out projected curve. Surfacing will probably help you overcome some of the solid limitations. I hope this helps.
