I need hard contacts because I can't get soft contacts in a strong enough perscription for my eyes (ok, let the cracks start coming about umpires being blind). I've got the gas permeable lenses that kyle talks about.

Maybe I'm mistaken, but I was thinking somewhere in the Official's Handbook for IHSA it said that sunglasses weren't accepted. You seem to think otherwise and I could just be flat out wrong, in which case, my posting this question was pointless. I'll havde to check on that when I get home.

EDIT: I pulled the officials handbook off the IHSA website and only the softball section mentions sunglasses as part of the official uniform "sunglasses may be worn by BASE umpires only". I assumed since the baseball section didn't say anything about them, they weren't allowed at all. It must be if it doesn't say anything about it, then they're ok.

Thanks for the responses.
