: I never thought to ask them why they were opening their eyes. I wear
: glasses because I'm too big of a wuss to put anything *in* my eyes.

Please tell us what kind of glasses you wear that actually stay on when you roll! I've been removing my regular glasses for roll practice because "Croakies" and such don't hold them on in "inverted flight". I have a military-type strap-on frame (I think it's meant to be worn under a gas mask) that stays on much better, but I have a large bobber attached to it since it does come off in about one in five roll attempts. (I'm new to rolling and don't yet have a "combat" roll.) Since my sight is so poor I can't possibly paddle without glasses, I've been seriously considering the surgery.
