Todd is considerably hyperopic, and requires glasses. Big, nerd-style, green-framed glasses. They’re inconvenient to wear while fossil hunting, so he generally sticks to contact lenses. Regardless, as long as he’s got something in his eyes (other than tears), once out of the dig site, he’s by far the best cleaner of the main crew of Champions. For comparison: Dina is clumsy, and Rupert’s spent his life relying on machines to clean for him, so he’s hopeless with the hammer himself. Pauleen can clean fairly well, but Todd is an utter automaton when it comes to excavating fossils. Occasionally, he can be seen wearing his glasses in the cleaning room. These occurrences merit boundless teasing from Dina, who always needles him about how nerdy he looks. That said, she respects his abilities - at this point, every member of the gang (on his advice) will simply take their wondrous and miraculous fossils to him, as he’s the least likely to damage whatever’s put in front of him.
