These glasses represent clear sightedness, logical thinking, reason, maturity, wisdom and sensible thinking.
Piggy is the only character to wear glasses and this reflects in the way he is stubborn about how he refuses to yield superstition about the Beast. He has an adult, objective viewpoint that makes him unpopular with "them kids"
When one of the lenses smash it shows how the group are losing sight of their initial objective, which was rescue.
Piggy's glasses were used to start the fire, this was the only thing that the other boys thought was Piggy's "use"
"The glasses, representing logic and reason, break as the group abandon logic and reason and descend into savagery"
