Eyeglass question

[Jim D.]

I've always worn glasses when officiating. I just wear a regual pair with no strap or anything. I do put on some anti-fogging stuff I bought at Dick's Sporting Goods. It's called Cat Crap and I don't want to know why it's called that.

sticking stuff in my eye has never had any appeal for me

Me either. In fact, its to the point where I can't stand objects pointing in the direction of my eye, whether its a straw in a drink or a fan blade on a ceiling fan. It drives me crazy and I must move the object.

However, I've been wearing contacts since 1981, including hard lenses for the first 10 or so years of that time, and it took minutes or even seconds, rather than hours, days, or even weeks, to get used to them and not be bothered by the eye contact. If I'm as sensitive as I am -- even with NO CONTACT with the eye -- anyone can wear contacts. The newer lenses are so good, I don't get dry eyes anymore.

HL: if you haven't found an answer to your problem then try your local bicycle shop. I'm pretty certain they'll have sunglasses with interchangeable lenses. I have a pair with 4 lenses: dark, not so dark, yellow and clear. You could also try:

PerformanceBike - Welcome!

Nashbar - Welcome!

I've looked at some of the Natives that have the same type lenses. Its getting the RX made is the pain.

To further update, optomitrist says Oakley wants about $500 for a set of Half Jackets, then came back with they couldn't do the no line lenses for my particuliar vision problem in the Half Jacket so they wnat me to come back and try something else.

I'm about ready to say THWI and just carry dollar store readers in my pocket.
