To be honest, I don't think there was any special meaning behind the glasses, I saw it as being a random joke that popped into the author's head while planning out the scene. I think the train of thought was, "Often times in anime when people get serious and say something like "Alright, lets get down to business" they push up their glasses and do that cool flashy thing.  It would be kinda funny to have Mio do that, but she doesn't own a pair of glasses...  Let's do something to poke fun at the trope.  Everyone in the Nichijou universe seems to own a pair of Groucho Glasses, so she'll just use those and it will be hilarious!"
