How about a small touchpad on the side of the
glasses?  Big enough to sense up/down/left/right and
"hard" (finger pressing so much it covers most of the
pad), which could be a click.  (Though you'd want a
little latency, so you can go from nothing to click
without acting on the up/down/left/right you'd pass
through.)
