Eyewear

[rainmaker]

I wear glasses in real life, and my ophthalmologist (I get 10 extra points for spelling it correctly!!!) doesn't recommend contacts for every-day because of astigmatism, and also another rare problem I have that can be exacerbated by contacts. (Wow, I'm just a spelling fiend tonight, aren't I!?!?) But for a couple of hours a few evenings a week, he doesn't think it's a problem. I have a prescription that allows me to see well at the distance the players are from the ref. And when I check the book, I use reading glasses. It has worked very well for me. Contacts are so much better than glasses, just because of the sweat factor, and the possibility of them falling off, getting knocked off and so forth. You might ask your ophth if you can experiment a little with them. They have closets full of samples they can let you try. And if you really use them only for bball, you can write them off your taxes??
