Lyra:
Given that we know his father also wore glasses, I figure he just has 
some heriditary condition, probably near-sightedness (same as me and 
all 3 of my brothers.) As for paying for glasses, I think Brits on 
the list have assured us they are covered by the National Health 
Plan, so it doesn't come out of Vernon's pocket.
