What you’re looking for would be “have you seen my glasses?”
“Did you see my glasses?” Is asking if the person saw your glasses wherever they just were, in the car, in the bedroom, etc.
“Have you seen my glasses?” Is asking in general, throughout their life, have they seen your glasses?
“Have you seen my glasses?” Is more broad and more helpful. “Did you see my glasses?” Is asking a very specific “did you see my glasses in the place you were just in?”
