I have had bad myopia and astygmatism (sp?) since I was 7 or 8. When I was younger, I used to go out without my glasses or wear contacts, because I thought it made me more attractive to girls. But I don't know that it lessened my anxiety at all.
It's not impossible that it would help the anxiety, but I wouldn't do it, personally. I think you'd be less personable, less able to interact with others effectively, without the visual cues you get from small facial movements, body language, etc.
