(I have to add that I'm asking this question because I have glasses (I mean can I see the real telescope magnification through my glasses?)

You will have no problem seeing the Moon. Stars show up as point sources regardless of the magnification, though the telescope will show them brighter.

You can use eyeglasses with a telescope, but you should look for a set of eyepieces that have what's called long eye-relief. The "eye relief" of an eyepiece is the distance between the lens nearest the eye, and the exit pupil of the eyepiece (which is the point in space that corresponds to where your eye's actual pupil is.) Most good-quality eyepieces will specify the amount of eye relief for the design when you buy them.

Depending on how bad your eyesight is, another option might be to remove your glasses when using the telescope, then "de-focus" the telescope to compensate. This can work if your vision is not too bad to begin with; but if your vision is very poor (like mine) the telescope's focuser may not have enough travel distance to compensate.

I have glasses also, but I take them off when I'm looking through a telescope. Some eyepieces are made for glasses , but others are difficult to view through with glasses on. It would just be the difference of focusing the telescope to your eye without your glasses on, unless you are blind, keep your glasses on.

If you're losing a telescope you shouldn't really need your glasses unless you have astigmatism, particularly if you're farsighted. The telescope will give you far more magnification than your glasses will.
