[Brandon A. Olivares]

Thanks. That’s exactly what I’m doing. I’m asking some other friends. So far no one else has a problem with it.

However, removing my personal druthers, it is an option to where them if you have enough trusted friends/people say that it can be distracting.

But yesterday, a friend I recently met suggested to wear sunglasses. He said it might be odd for people to see my eyes, since they aren’t focused. I have no vision at all, and I can’t control my eyes.
