Ouch, that’s got to suck.
The article’s admonishments remind me of a story told by a friend about a crash he was sort of involved in. He was being followed somewhat closely by a guy in a BMW who was reading the paper with one hand, and steering with the two fingers of his other hand that were not holding his coffee cup. (always a good plan.) Something happened up the traffic stream that cause my friend to have to brake pretty quickly, and he glanced in his rearview just in time to see the guy in the BMW panic and somehow splash his coffee all over the windshield as he tried to drop it and the paper. The coffee blocked his view for a few seconds, apparently causing more panic, which cause him to drive off the road into the ditch.
A minor “Oh shit” moment transformed into a crash because the driver was trying to do everything with his hands but drive.

The cure is worse than the disease.

When the airbags in Dad’s ’95 Fleetwood deployed they removed the spectacles neatly from his face, depositing them on the shelf below the rear window. They probably saved his eyes from abrasion by the bag, as the balance of his face seemed to have been lightly sanded by the bag. I’ll continue to wear my sunglasses in the daytime and my bifocals at night when I drive.

I would have to call the journal article’s author myopic.

Without my glasses I’d be lucky to find the steering wheel, OK a slight exaggeration but I wouldn’t be fit to drive.
I can no longer wear contact lenses either so that option is not open to me.
This has go me wondering now just how much damage an airbag hitting my face + glasses could actually do.
