Have never NOT worn glasses while umpiring. Normally, I wear trifocals but I refuse to wear trifocals for baseball so I have distance vision only glasses made. Besides not calling so much attention to my vision, the smaller rim keeps from interfering with mask. The DVO glasses correct to 20-15 but in doing so, make my near vision worse than with no glasses at all. I am nearly hopeless with lineup cards and have to look over the top of the glasses or just take them off when I'm doing games that require keeping a lineup card.

I have never heard a comment about glasses per se.
