Generally, to obtain a Commercial Pilot's license you need to have 250 hours of flight time. The specific requirements can be found in Section 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Part 61.121 - 61.133. However, don't confuse a Commercial Pilot's license with a commercial pilot's job. Right now the US major airlines are not hiring and only the regional airlines are. An example is American Eagle which, right now, requires 1500 total time and 300 multi-engine. ASA, ComAir and ACA are other examples of regional airlines that all have web pages with thier requirements.
You can get your licenses and ratings nearly anywhere in the country. There are flight schools that consist of one flight instructor and an airplane and there are those with in excess of 100 instructors and countless aircraft. Each is a little different and it is important that you find an instructor and school that meets your personal liking.
The glasses are no problem. Many airline pilots fly with them.
