yes, but the intent is to prevent damage to the glasses or lenses. Not applicable here.

I have never thought of this rule's intent as "to prevent damage to the glasses or lenses." Although, in the 60's and 70's my parents would have been have been very much in favor of this. In the 80's and forward, we were all rich and could afford to replace them.

I thought this was to avoid having a player participating at a disadvantage due to his/her visual disability. You know the kinder, gentler nation. Along with the ADA and other issues. I am not poking fun at this. I really thought this was the reason for the rule. Is it not?

I am not excusing the OOO of the OP!
