FIA gives Ralf all clear to wear glasses.
Williams-BMW driver Ralf Schumacher has been given the 'all clear' to wear glasses in 2002.
FIA spokesperson Francesco Longanesi told Reuters: "At present there is nothing in the FIA rules that prevents a driver from wearing spectacles when competing."
"What a medical officer can do is to advise a driver not to wear spectacles but he certainly cannot impose it."
Ralf revealed last month that he will wear glasses in 2002 in a bid to give him a 'clear' edge over his brother Michael Schumacher.

The German said: "My eyesight really is still fine but I tried driving with glasses last week and it seems to be much better."
He added: "The thing now is to try them in testing and get used to them for the season. Hopefully, the glasses can help me close the gap on Michael a little bit so I can win more races."
Ralf is expected to try - especially made - eye-glasses later this month.
