You really did not say this and believe it do you?

If you think fans and coaches do not question the eyesight of the officials (and with glasses you are telling the whole world you have to have vision correction on some level) then I do not know what world you are living in. It does not matter what system of assigning you live in, someone that has some power over assignments just might hold you back because of something this minor. Just like someone will hold you back for other physical features and you would never know the reasons why you were not hired or asked back. Also, there are always exceptions to any rule. Your friend has been able to overcome this to some extent does not mean everyone will be so lucky.
