Contact lenses. Spectacles. The solutions to short-sightedness at the milonga. Those that wear glasses have their appealing little rituals. The invitation to dance is accepted, the glasses are folded and secreted somewhere on the person or on the table. Occasionally I'm asked to carry them in my pocket. Occasionally they're pushed up to the top of the head. Some people keep wearing them while dancing, which can pose interesting logistical challenges with respect to head position. The dance ends. The glasses-wearer is escorted back to the table on which they can find their glasses. The ritual concludes.
20/20 vision indicates normal human visual acuity.
