I wonder if it was a pair of reading glasses, or did he not use any?
I think the position of his hands looks as if it's paper (kind of flat)
nope, he didn't wear any

Don't think he used any. Even so, if he did want to use reading glasses, he should have given them to the moderator to put on the podium for him, given they were not allowed to bring any tangibles to the podium. Also, he would not need to face away from the moderator and audience if he was being honest.
