Contact lens issue with a T

[Adam]

This is not a safety issue, period. As one who wears contact lenses, I can tell you it's possible to play with one. Hell, I might or might not know that it's possible to drive with one.

My suggestion: learn from this one and don't do it next time.

You have no idea what the strength of his prescription is, so you have no idea whether he can play with one lens or not.

Agreed. I also wear contacts with a pretty strong prescription and I can function for a short while with just one. Certainly long enough to shoot a couple of free throws.

I actually lost both lenses during a wrestling match in middle school and managed to finish the match.

So, since you couldn't see your opponent, you had to grope around for him?

When I was in middle school (actually, Jr. High), we wore monocles or spectacles. Ben Franklin had just invented them.
