Tinted Eye Glasses

NFHS Rules: Does the prohibition against tinted visors extend to tinted eyeglasses as well? I don't see anywhere that it does, but others in our association feel differently.

Tinted Glasses

Tinted glasses are legal. The philosophy is that these are easy to remove from an injured player without disturbing the neck as opposed to a player with a tinted visor.

This seems to pop up every season. Why do some officials refuse to read rules and especially rule changes- laziness, arrogance?

i think they fail to read the rules because there is too much tint in their eyeglasses!

There was just a message posted about visors/eye glasses a couple days ago.
