I wore my glasses the first year, and like you say, ignored the remarks. But it got annoying to keep pushing them up and they got knocked off once. My ophthalmologist (do I get extra points for spelling it correctly?!?) told me I could not wear contacts, due to astigmatism and another very rare eye problem which could be drastically worsened (to the point of blindness) by contacts.
But I convinced him to let me try, on the grounds that for only a few hours per week, the risk did not increase too dramatically. We experimented with different ways to correct, and I have finally found a compromise that works, although like mick I use "cheaters" to read the map, check the score book, and look up rules (and on Saturdays, to read a novel between games).
I definitely prefer contacts, now that we got a prescription that does the job. They are not expensive, they help avoid some of the glasses problems, and they get you over that hs hump into college -- at least, that's what I hear.
