So because I don't want the only thing keeping me at the high school level to be my eyesight, I'm going to try and do the whole contact thing.
Whoa! Not moving up because of wearing glasses? You need the glasses to see optimally, right? Are you saying your appearance is being hurt? I have had to use bi-focals since last year. I didn't wear glasses officiating last year. I found my vision wasn't real sharp for distances. I have a real problem putting contacts in. So this year I have decided to wear sports goggles. I used them at a camp I attended last month and my vision is sharp now. Just an annoyance to have to put on and take off. And as far as my appearance, I don't really give a darn - besides, I'm better looking than a lot of officials WITHOUT glasses LOL.

Randy, I had a cousin who had lasik done. Says it was the best decision he ever made.
