No. It's done via polarisation so the glasses are like sunglasses.
I was in Swindon this weekend (crap weekend, long story) and ended up going to the cinema. I was mulling over going to see a film in 3D but I wasn't sure if I could wear the 3D glasses with my normal glasses (or if they had some sort of stick on or clip on lenses). From experience of watching 3D stuff at home, it worked but was uncomfortable with normal glasses (maybe it's a ploy by Specsavers to get everyone who needs glasses to wear contact lenses).
My wife didn't have any issues wearing the 3D glasses over her ordinary glasses - they're just like big sunglasses.
Oh and the price put me off, £2 for the 3D glasses, plus another £1.50 extra to see it in 3D. Would have cost me over a tenner to see the film. In the end I went to see How To Train Your Dragon (in 2D rather than 3D). Was also a good film, I can see how it would look great in 3D, but I'll wait for the Bluray release I think before watching it in 3D.
The Apollo in Paignton was a tenner a head to see the 3D film - I don't think the cimenas are giving discounts for your own glasses - but I'm sure they will in-time. They sort of expect you to recycle the glasses, but don't make much effort over it. I'd probably be happier spending a a few quid more on a good quality pair of glasses and carry pouch than pay an extra pound or 2 to see each film.
