What female skaters wear glasses?

I guess some of these wear contacts some of the time, but I have seen them with glasses (or know that they need them from books etc):

Dorothy Hamill
Rena Inoue
Elena Bereznaya (sic!)
Kristi Yamaguchi
 
Actually I remember seeing clips of Dorothy Hamill wearing glasses on the ice when she was skating figures. And I recall commentators commenting on her nearsightedness when she was squinting at the marks after freeskating.

I remember that too.
 
I'd imagine lots of them would wear contacts. ;) I've seen pics of some ice dancers in glasses (off the ice of course).
 
Many skaters do wear contact lenses. I used to when I skated. What a difference it makes!!! I always remember seeing pictures of Dorothy Hamil tracing figures while wearing glasses. I guess she either went without for freeskate or wore contacts. Don't know. Great topic.
 
I seen Maria Butirskaya wearing some once (and they were Sally Jesse Raphael big) in a scene from the beginning of the Tour of World Figure Skating Champions when it was shown on ABC in 1996. She was standing in an elevator with a bunch of skaters in the scene.
