Glasses
Great thread on a subject that interests me quite a bit.
The night before doing my first official clinic (with evaluators), I had a friend optometrist get me in for an exam for contacts. I got a starter pack of throw-aways and about an hour before the clinic, I tried to get them in. Got the first one okay but the second one didn't go in so good. It was in there but "folded" up somewhere. Oh man, I was already nervous about doing the clinic (even if they were just summer camp games) and now I'm scrambling to get the first one out and find the second one that's really messing with my eye. Never got the "bad" one out before the games so I ended up with my glasses on and worrying about the irritation. Made it through that day and tried, unsuccesfully, to get the contacts in again from time to time but never really comfortable with them.
Only doing freshman/JV games so far and it may be awhile until I get any varsity gigs but I'm willing to try the contacts again down the road. As unfair as it seems to have to chuck the glasses for perception purposes, I suppose it's just the way it is. I'm not a candidate for laser.
