Amelia: Most bats do have some form of either contact lenses or corrective surgery. This is because most species of bat's eyesight is still lagging behind in terms of evolution. Society has built up far too much for echolocation to be reliable for navigation for most living in the Nocturnal district, and thus many bat folk who live in the caves have to rely almost purely on their limited eyesight to move around.
As for those that spend most of their time on the surface, their eyes are super sensitive to light, and thus need not only lenses that help improve their vision but limit the glare from the sun...
Val: Sort of like sunglasses?
Amelia: Exactly.
Val: But aren't flying foxes pretty much outdoor bats? They used to sleep in trees right? So what's with your lenses?
Amelia: Well, it's partially light sensitivity...and mostly er...*Blushes slightly* I don't like how big and buggy my pupils are without them...I mean, my Iris color is still amber...but it's just like a...massive amber wall under these lenses...it puts most other mammals off...Makes me look like a Powerpup girl reject...
Val: *Snickers* A-Are you for real?
Amelia: Oh don't give me that look, or do we have to start talking about how sensitive you are about how your tail looks?
*Val Opens her muzzle, raising a finger as if she's ready to protest before suddenly backing down. The vixen lets out a huff, crossing her arms as a scowl splits her muzzle...*
Val: We'll call this one a draw...for now...
