Quick question for everyone out there. In softball as well as baseball for Illinois, the IHSA has said no sunglasses while working the plate. For softball, sunglasses are acceptable on the bases, but not for baseball.

I wear hard contacts and due to this, my eyes are very sensitive to dusty conditions (i know, a baseball diamond's the wrong place for me). I could wear glasses, but I have very limited peripheral vision with them on whereas with contacts I see just like someone without corrective lenses. Would it be ok to wear sunglasses for this reason (as long as conditions warrant, obviously it's nearly impossible to wear them at night) at least on the bases for baseball. I don't normally have too much trouble behind the plate, but if the winds whipping while I'm in the field, I find that dust gets caught in my contacts very easily. Or, does anyone have an alternative suggestion for me? Any input would be appreciated.
