Agreed. Same thing for displaced eyeglasses, or contact lenses, and, as this thread discusses, maybe the same thing for an injury.
However, the rulebook only addresses eyeglasses, and contact lenses. The rulebook also states that an officials must apply the intent and purpose of the rules, and that, with a little bit of 2-3 thrown in for good measure, will give common sense, "real game", officials all the direction that they need.
