Anybody have experience with no-line glasses???
Thanks,

George-
I got the 'no liners' myself last year..it DOES take bit of retraining to focus properly! If your association has a clinic for new officials, I would highly recommend you asking if you can 'sit in' on some of the plate traaining...plus work all the scrimmages you can find too! You might find for the plate that the focus area for 'near' is a bit too small...did you get sunglasses with the high index too? If not, I would also recommend that you get THOSE with a slightly larger 'far' area to wear on the bases,and for driving. If you have any questions, dont hesitate to ask with a PM!
