It's only anecdotal, but I find that even with glasses and "good enough" vision, contrast is a killer for me. I don't know why; I don't need glasses to drive, and I can even read without glasses if the font isn't too small. But I have a lot of trouble when contrast is low. Even sometimes AA-compliant contrast ratios are hard for me if the font is too thin. There are sites I've hacked with the Stylish plugin, but oftentimes I just don't bother wasting the time, and leave the site. If you're selling something that's available elsewhere, I'd likely go to a competitor. That could be a case for fixing contrast.
