Decent goggles/shades?

[Warpa]

My sight is fine but i have an allergy all year around that makes my eyes water, on a PB this is a pain, are there any goggle type things (not for swimming) to wear that are tinted too?

I looked at snow boarding and skiing goggles (not masks) and just wondered if there is anything actually available

Can I have some of your allergy please, as I have one that makes my eyes dry

Google "mositure chamber sunglasses", or alternatively look at sky diving goggles, as they're much more slimline than ski goggles.

I swear by my polarised Oakleys. Great for driving and will take the glare of water etc.

I am not sure you will get much benefit from the goggles over regular sunglasses. In many allergies a lot of the reaction in allergic conjunctivitis is from inhaled antigens rather than direct contact with the eye.

Its just the wind that makes them water more, i am in the process of getting a fix, just need to get my doc to book me into a specialist

I am glad you are getting the problem looked at professionally. Yes goggles will be better at reducing the airflow.

The Grey Funnel Fleet use ESS from the States.
Use a variety of lenses, from clear to tinted.
Good on RIBS as well.

I used to distribute these in the EU

Excellent quality and very affordable, loads of guys out in Iraq/Afganistan buy them for themselves rather than use the standard issue ones.

I have dry eye syndrome which perversely means that my eyes water when out of doors and especially in the wind.

I solved the problem by a quick visit to Homebase - a pair of their safety glasses in a wraparound style, completely clear perspex lenses and problem solved. And they are <£10 too.
