I personally have heard hecklers using glasses as an excuse to ride an offical. If a coach uses your eyewear as an excuse to demean you he may be looking to get whacked. If it does not bother you or make you feel self concious IMO wear them. I used to wear contacts/glasses and reciently had LASIK done, I love it!!! 20/20 both eyes. One thing for you to consider however, depending on the level of ball you aspire to work, is howmany big time officials on TV do you see wearing glasses??? Answer: next to none. the ones who need corrections wear contacts or have gotten lasered. Each little thing one does to make them less "noticible" as an official IMO makes their job just a little bit easier by giving people less fodder to use.
