Ok,<br>
<br>
I am thinking of putting together an ancient roman impression as a civilian, most likely with some form of fishing or other maritime trade influence. I have two main problems, but I'll only cover the one for now. This is that I wear glasses. I wear reproduction frames for my Civil War living history, and also for my colonial living history. I can barely see and my eyes hurt like heck if I don't wear glasses, and I can't wear contacts. I know that glasses aren't authentic, and my aim is for a high level of authenticity, but would I get shunned for wearing them? I'd prefer to get contacts just to use for ancient events, but I can't get contacts that work. I could go for short periods without my glasses, but every hour or two I'd have to put them back on. What do other living historians that require glasses do?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
