If you have a rule that says not to charge the team with a time-out EVEN THOUGH ONE WAS REQUESTED because it was due to a displaced lens, then you certainly aren't going to charge them with a time-out when they didn't request one.
It seems to me that this is a true game management situation. In the absence of a clear rule detailing how much time a player gets to remedy the situation, the referee must make a determination of what is a reasonable amount of time to allow before resuming play with or without that player.
