Feasible?

Question: How feasible would it be to suggest that the NF mandate that any player who participates while wearing Rx eyeglasses--must also wear a support band that prevents said Rx eyeglasses from falling off during live ball action?

Maybe make such restraining bands a definite part of the "legally equipped to participate" aspect?

I've had 8th grade girls & boys games whose glasses are flopping off when they get slight contact or just due to perspiration. Even had a case where a kid's glasses were stepped on and broken in the paint.
As an official I've come to question the courtesy [if not legitimacy] of halting play to allow them to pickup Rx eyeglasses.
