The running back has been struggling with his eyesight and has even said that he has trouble reading nameplates across the locker room if he closes his right eye.
That is obviously a glaring issue with his eyes, but Lacy has no intentions of getting glasses.
With the contact issues, however, you would have to wonder whether goggles would be something Eddie Lacy would consider wearing on the gridiron. As far as the running back is concerned, that isn’t even an option.
“I refuse,” Lacy said, via Weston Hodkiewicz of the Green Bay Press-Gazette. “I don’t want to say I refuse because I might because I think it will be better than wearing contacts, but that’s kind of old-fashioned.”
As long as Lacy is able to play at a high level and wear his contacts without further damaging his eyes, it would be a non-issue.
However, if the health of his eyes is jeopardized by continuing to wear the contacts, Lacy may need to consider all options even at the risk of looking cool.
