The problem with succinct is there's often more to say. "Assistive technology", to me, puts emphasis on the tech.
But the real question to ask here is "Why do we think of people who need glasses to see as not being disabled & using an assistive device to meet their access needs, compared to other disabled people needing their access needs met who society is suspicious of and makes jump through hoops to get their access needs met?"
The answer to this gets at the frame of systemic ableism, IMO.
