How long have you been officiating? This sounds like a power hungry rookie call. It is not my place to determine if the player is capable of playing without a lens or not. Improperly equipped does not mean missing a contact lens!! For all you know there were some kids out there that were suppose to have contacts but didn't so are they improperly equipped as well? If a player starts the game with a knee support and takes it off later in the game, are you going to make him leave because obviously he needs that brace to continue ?
Me thinks having stripes on your shirt has gone to your head.
If you see that you don't get a lot of game assignments, don't be surprised.
