Hmm, but this doesn't really fit.  In German you say
    Schlage niemanden mit einer Brille.
This implicitely is understanded as you translated.  On the other
hand after the second sentence you fealt that the speaker was intended
to say
    Don't hit someone *using* glasses.
which might be not very effectful.  In German this sentence has two
senses...

Kind regards
