This Janis Hirsch story is another with the basic cast of eight.  As in the theme song, Patty doesn't want to but has to wear her glasses.  She ends up causing an accident when she stops wearing them, and Lauren's leg gets broken.  Patty is annoyed at all the attention Lauren gets, when no one feels bad about her "handicap" of near-sightedness.  Meanwhile, LaDonna wants to be a d.j. on the campus radio, so she and Jennifer are nice to Lauren to get her to talk to station manager Marshall.  (Note that LaDonna's use of the word "Madonna" has pre-Ms.-Ciccone associations.)  There's a cute moment at the end when Johnny trades his sunglasses for Patty's eyeglasses.  The music, including by Josie Cotton, seems to be intact as far as I can tell.
