PromoTheRobot Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 Every time I see Taylor on TV or on Twitter, he's wearing glasses. But he doesn't wear glasses while playing. So now I'm thinking how much is his vision affecting his QB play? Sure, he night be wearing contacts in games. So why the glasses away from the game, unless contacts don't fully correct his vision? Do we have another Ricky Vaughn scenario here? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KDIGGZ Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 Tyrod wears contacts. He's had one fall out on a number of occasions. He might need to get his eyes checked again though. He might have the wrong prescription 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people, Hollywood/celebrity types, wear clear non corrective lenses to make a fashion statement. Added benefit is it protects eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What we used to call "Birth Control Glasses" back in Da Day (common amoung engineers and other anti-fashionistas) are now very fashionable with the under-30 set. My kid has contacts, she also has a pair of them-there "formerly known as BCG" she wears in Fashionista Mode. Although, depending upon the specifics, sometimes contacts don't fully correct.

A lot of people find contacts uncomfortable. My wife wore them for a while but decided to go back to glasses because the contacts irritated her eyes.

Drives me nuts seeing girls in these. They look good as librarians, though. You'd think they got Seymour seeing more so they'd have addressed this with Taylor.

YoloinOhio Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 (edited) I think he wears glasses off the field as a fashion statement, but he also might not prefer to wear contacts unless he has to, like while he is playing. Fwiw his charity is related to corrective eyewear, he endorses both Stanton Optical and My Eyelab, and he also has his own line of eyewear for Frame Genie that just launched so he will want to wear the glasses/Frames for those reasons... https://www.bizjournals.com/twincities/prnewswire/press_releases/Minnesota/2018/02/01/MN03335 https://www.framegenie.com/collections/t2 Edited February 3, 2018 by YoloinOhio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CommonCents Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 LASIK is so much better than contacts, I wonder why a high paid guy like Taylor would choose the later? Maybe something they can't correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe something they can't correct? I think it’s probably part fashion statement, part endorsements . But to your point, my eye doctor doesn’t recommend lasik for me so it could be the same. Not sure what his corrective issue is. Edited February 3, 2018 by YoloinOhio 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hah. I have picked on Taylor enough I was asking a serious question. I wore contacts for about 15 years, even playing sports as a weekend warrior I always looked back and wish I had LASIK back then. Depth perception and such is much better when you don't have to rely on blinking or making sure your contact is perfect. Sounds stupid i guess, anyone that has worn them probably knows what I'm talking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
