Eye Doctors Already Offering Free Eye Exams to Blind NFL Refs
Football fans are saying that the Rams did not shock the world by beating the Saints to head to the Super Bowl, it was the bad officiating that turned that trick, and several eye doctors are now offering free eye exams to the refs to lead them back to ocular health!
One eye care center in Louisiana, for instance, offered the NFL’s referees a little assistance after their controversial calls that led to the New Orleans Saints losing the NFC Championship to the Los Angeles Rams Sunday.
Louisiana Family Eyecare, an eye doctor in Covington, Louisiana, offered free exams for NFL Refs before next season, WWL Channel 4 reported.
“We will GLADLY provide no-cost eye exams to all NFL officials prior to next season to prevent the atrocity that occurred tonight,” Louisiana Family Eyecare wrote in Sunday evening Facebook post. “We would hate for someone else to feel our pain.”
Not to be outdone, an eye care center in Texas has also offered free eye exams to get ahead of the Super Bowl.
Crystal Vision Center in College Station, Texas, also jumped in to offer free eye exams for the refs.
“In light of the atrocious lack of calls during the New Orleans Saints game, we would like to extend free eye exams and glasses to any NFL referee in need. You know who you are,” Crystal Vision Center tweeted immediately after Sunday’s game.

Refs have taken slings and arrows for missing what many called “obvious pass interference’ during the NFC Championship.
As far as many are concerned, the fact that the Rams went on to topple the Saints in overtime would never have happened if the missed call had not been made.
