In which case, I wouldn't even let you on the show. What if your glasses
break during a challenge? Now we have a blind guy wandering around in
the jungle.

If I'm producing this show, I'm not letting anyone on who is that blind
in the first place. Anyone else who isn't that bad off but still wears
glasses, well that's a luxury item, as far as I'm concerned. Certainly
not a medical necessity in any event.
