I've never had vision issues with wearing a cage, in some cases not having a piece of plastic between my eye and the playing surface is better. The only thing I didn't like with cages was how heavy they were. I got a hold of an Itech Ti cage and its miles better than a traditional cage. The Bauer 9900 is similar in weight to the Itech Ti, and the flat bars supposedly help with vision.

The one downside to playing with a cage, its next to impossible to draw highsticking penalties. I've been whacked multiple times and it usually goes undetected. If you go down holding your face after getting sticked in the cage, its really just a dive. Small price to pay to keep your face intact though, especially teeth.
