Do you ever see NHL players wearing glasses on ice?

[threadbare]

i wear hard lenses exclusively. and they do pop out on occasion when things happen... more often though, even if i just rub my eyes sometimes one will slip off my retina for a second or 2 and that can suck... especially when driving...

Stacks of luncheon meat, getting laid, soft ones slipping out and Al Arbour's pic... stopppppp! It's Friday night.

I have been wearing contacts since I could count my age on my hands, and you are correct.  Four concussions, contacts never came out.

Things start to come into focus now...

 

I believe Al Arbour was last player to wear glasses

I didn't know anyone still did that.  Do you also wear a cilice?

[threadbare]

hah...nice...they don't make soft lenses that correct my vision issues....after about a decade you get used to them...

[Brawndo]

Oh, the new soft ones are nice, but it's not like the difference between the old soft ones and the old hard lenses.  Seriously, a HARD piece of plastic IN YOUR ###### EYE.  I can't even begin to explain.

 

Tried wearing the semi permeable ones, I hated them and swore off contacts. 

 

Wore glasses, but I have a giant head so none of the "cool frames" worked and that led to a severe delay in this 

 

  Remember the first time you got laid?

I have a friend who can only wear hard lenses due to whatever his eye condition is. His eyes are bloodshot 75% of the time. And he's only baked about a third of the time.

Don't make me call for backup, d4rk.  You know what happens when my men come knocking at your door.  Contacts stay in, eyeballs pop out.

That's a definite sig-candidate right there :worthy:

So, talking to my wife about KO's retina, it occurred to us you never see players wearing glasses on ice. They can't possibly be wearing contacts, can they, with all of the physical play?

 

How does KO literally see the ice?

Players have worn contacts for years.

 

I recall Lindy Ruff losing one (as a player) many years ago; he and others were on their knees behind the net looking for the thing after the whistle!

Ugh, I'm so sorry.
