Question!! Anyone know about those red “sleep” lenses and yellow lenses? (They’re both for bluelight. And Yellow’s for outside. But) Q: How are these lenses against UV rays though?
The best sunglasses I ever had were called "golf tint." They were gradient brown from the top and gradient green up from the bottom. The brown on top made the sky very blue and the green on the bottom made the grass really pop. I've never found anyplace else that does it, and the place I got them is closed.
@@DoctorEyeHealth Thanks for choosing not to help me even with all of my comments left under your vitamin c video.. no one gives a shit about your video about what sunglasses you like.. thanks again for not helping me when I really need it
Thanks Doctor Allen, this video helped me big time in deciding what sunglasses to get. I recently got contacts and my eye doctor recommended that I start wearing sunglasses due to having a coronial nevus is both eyes. The whole lifetime warranty, made in America, and crazy high tech glass lenses really fit the bill. I managed to get a pair of P3s and a pair of aviators.
It might be helpful if you would talk about coatings and recommendations for prescription sunglasses. I have never been totally satisfied with the tints available for this purpose. It seems that they can change over time when exposed to heat and light.
I have watched The Spectacle Factory and Robert talks a lot about lens options and coatings. He's got lots of different combinations too. And there's also Free Prescription Lenses, he talks about lenses and coatings while he cuts and then install them
@@JohannnesBrahms here's some of my own lens and tint combinations if you have time to watch them th-cam.com/play/PL_iM_5Mlv7ulrSa_od_2LP720H9ebuN4n.html&si=ZFe95JqJ5hs4MI_T
My Neurologist recommended pink or red tinted lenses for my photophobia and occasional migraines. You didn't mention them, and I wonder if they'll really perform better at protecting me from bright sun?
This is in my top three favorite videos of yours! Living in Southern California and having multiple vision issues, sunglasses are critical for me in my daily life (which is spent mostly outside). I had no idea how many factors there were in purchasing sunglasses. This video has given me so much information and a new sunglasses manufacturer to try! Thanks Dr. Allen! (Although I'm still confused about polarized lenses.)
It (pleasantly) surprised me to hear you recommend high quality glass lenses. My optician discouraged me from wearing my Maui Jim’s because of the glass, citing safety reasons...because a blow to the glass could potentially shatter the glass and pierce the eye. I would agree if the incidence of that happening is considerable but I haven’t heard it happening to anyone that I know and the fact you recommend glass lenses must mean the incidence is very low? I think that if he used the same logic, I shouldn’t drive a car because I could get killed in an accident...which is a risk but rather low. Would you say that’s fair to say that the risk of eye injury from the glass breaking is low?
He probably discouraged it because you could sue him if something did happen and he didn't say anything. That's why, even though glass is optically the best, most places don't sell them because they don't want to deal with something actually happening.
Thank you for this information. The one question I kept having that you did not answer is: Do glass lenses shatter? And, if they do, wouldn't that be another reason to get plastic besides them being more lightweight?
I have some questions. Do sunglasses loose their UV 400 protection over time? Does sun exposure fade the UV protection on theglasses through irradiation? Fo Polycarbonate loose their inherent UV protection over time with UV exposure? I have understood Polycarbonate is an inherent safe material regards never loosing its UV protection while CR 39 lenses loose their UV 400 coating after 2 years of sun exposure. I live in a semi desert Zone like Arizona or New Mexico is were the sun is allways very strong. I understood Polycarbonate is the best material for UV safety (never loosing it without the wearer notice it) sincethe material itself blocks 97% of the UV rays. What do you say?
I’m a war veteran. We were not allowed to wear sunglasses that were not polycarbonate during operations. People in the glasses industry crap on polycarbonate but only polycarbonate are shatter-proof. Riot shields are made of polycarbonate. Polycarbonate stops shrapnel. Polycarbonate are what shooting glasses are made off. I love polycarbonate because I don’t like to baby my glasses. Edit: yes, and heard they don’t lose the UV400 protection also.
Just wondering if there is a recommendation for "fit-over" sunglasses? Or are they not recommended? (they all seem rather poor optical quality from my limited experience).
Love your channel. There is a question that I can't really google for an answer. The question - Are there any differences between a transparent lens (white) with 100%UV protection and a tinted lens (let's say black) with 100%UV protection. In terms of UV protection ?
Happy Anniversary! I'm wondering, in terms of overall vision adjustment is it better to close your eyes and slowly open them anytime you're putting on or taking off glasses in general?
I am a HUGE Kaenon fan due to their lenses. I love the Copper 12 lens. I feel like greens really pop (normally, most greens in nature are so dull to me). Also, they give me better contrast. The lens is a proprietary material, so I know you can't see exactly what the composition is, but what do you think about the quality of the lens?
Hey thanks and good question. There may not be a specific healing benefit from tinted lenses but glasses with more of an amber or yellow tint are sometimes recommended for people with retinal disease as the filtering of blue light “may” help protect the retina from excessive oxidative stress. But that is more theory than clinical evidence.
great video. finally somebody who goes beyond frames and into why we wear sunglasses. i never had randolf but i have had smith and rayban and maui jim and costa and other expensive polarized glasses and to me their not significantly better than walmart berkley's in optical clarity,maybe the frames are better. maybe i'll give it one more shot and go for the crown glass randolfs in amber.
What do you think of the Roka C3 lenses? I recently bought two pairs of Roka sunglasses and absolutely love how they fit and feel, and the optics look pretty good two, but I'm wondering how they hold up from a technical standpoint. They are supposed to be Nylon and I don't know if C3 means category 3. I have a pair of Lewis and a pair of TL-1x. I love how light and comfortable they are, and they never fall off my face or slip down my nose.
Several years ago I found a pair of Vuarnet sunglasses. One early morning I was on a foggy lake in Canada and the view from these sunglasses was incredible-extremely vivid, almost surreal view like the colors/land/fog/water popped-it was glorious. Then (long story short) they fell into the lake. I have wanted to replace them ever since but I do not know what they were. Vuarnet sells lenses called PX2000, PX 3000, PX 5000 and one referred to as Skilynx. From my description can you tell me which sunglasses I likely found/lost?
Is anti glare and anti reflective coating are the same or not! should I apply anti glare and anti reflective coating in both sides or just in inside part for sunglasses! Is dust and water repellent is a coating or natural attributes of polycarbonate lens! Please reply, it will help me a lot
Hey Krishna! Anti-glare is just another way of saying Anti-reflective coating. It is best to have anti reflective coatings on both sides of spectacle lenses and at least on the backside of sunglasses. Dust and water repellent is a coating that is often combined with better or higher end anti-reflectives. Polycarb lenses naturally block almost 100% UV light and are more impact resistant, but do tend to scratch easier and have more color distortion.
I have cataracts and the darker the sunglasses, the better I can see. I sometimes even wear them while watching tv or using my computer. Any suggestions on darker sunglasses? Thanks.
I imagine that is because the cataracts are causing a lot of glare. Are you a candidate for cataract surgery yet? You can get darker tinted sunwear by either finding companies that make them darker or at a local optical shop, as they can order or even make sunglasses tints themselves. They can tailer make your sunglasses as dark as you want.
I don't believe so? But I know that is the newest trend in the eyeglasses world - and there is some research on it. I know Zenni is currently offering glasses lenses that block infrared rays, but I think the eyecare community is still on the fence about the research. What have you read or heard about?
I got my first Randolph sunglasses few days ago. Aviator Bright Chrome with American Gray non-polarized lenses for flying airplanes. The P3 with Northern Lights is in my wishlist along with the Concorde with Cobalt lenses. I have Ray-bans with standard polarized and chromance lenses and a Oakley with polarized Prizm lenses and they are all really good but the Skytec Glass lenses are in another level. You can't explain the difference but you feel somehow it's better. I just don't like it more because it isn't polarized (but had to be that way). It's the only one I can wear inside my motorcycle helmet because if you wear polarized ones with the helmet face shield you gonna feel really sick because this combination distorts the image and colors. It doesn't happen if the lenses are not polarized. I learned that in the hard way. Another point for Randolph is the baionet temple design who makes it very easy to wear with headsets or any type of helmet.
So I have a question, I saw your video on how to put in contact lenses and I just want to know, how hold do you have to be to get contact lenses and how much do they cost?
My new prescription sunglasses have polarization but when held front of pc screen show blotchy tint, as if the tint did not extend all the way out to the edge of the hd lens. Optician says it’s normal due to size of lens, etc. Advice on this?
I had ICL surgery about a month ago so I'm interested in some good quality sunglasses since I have to wear them for time to come will Randolph be a good option? I've heard that dark sunglasses are the way to go also which one are the best for night driving that reduces glare?
Question for y’all! Does anyone know much about those red “sleep” lenses and yellow lenses? They’re both for bluelight. And Yellow’s for outside. Q: How are these lenses against UV rays though?
Good morning from where I am now. Can I ask where to buy eyeglasses for a colorblind person and how much?Please I need your reply,thank you and God Bless
Yes, there are 2 brands I know of. Either Enchroma (highest quality I know of but in the 300 range) and pilestone (100 range). Both are found on their websites or through amazon. Here was my Enchroma review. th-cam.com/video/fsdpQW7_eTc/w-d-xo.html
I have transition lenses BUT they don't turn when I am in the car. I have looked into cover over sunglasses but I don't know what to look or watch for. Are regular cover over sunglasses ok to use with my glasses?
Most photochromic glasses require UV to darken. In the car the windows block this so your lenses don't get darker. I have Transitions Drivewear which are designed to work partly from visible light so do get darker in the car. I've also got Transitions Signature V8 and they do go a little dark in the car. I drive an old Land Rover so pretty much always have the window open - as there is no room for your elbow 😎 Overall I am happier with contacts and Serengeti wraparound sunglasses. But the Drivewear are good too.
I like your channel so much. Thank you for very important thing everybody supposed to know. Can you please tell us about Maui Jim sunglasses if you don't mind. Thank you.
I talked about Maui Jim in this video I did last year on some of my favorite sunglasses. I hope you find that helpful! th-cam.com/video/y163GB4exYY/w-d-xo.html
I wear Rudy Project, Rydon sunglasses with readers for motorcycle riding. With readers built in. Is it safe to wear glass lens based sunglasses? Will they stop a projective? Thanks. Great Channel.
@@DoctorEyeHealth I think the Rudy Project sunglasses and mil spec for military application. Sounds like I better stick with them or other polycarbonate lenses. Thanks doc. Great channel. Kam
Sir PLS PLS REPLY😢😢🙏🙏 which thing is better for cleaning Eyes & removing any particle/insect from eye:-Sterile wipes or cotton swabs(type/name?)or any other thing (but not drops).
I have a question! With the luminous transmittance, I'm usually squinting even on a cloudy day so would the category three be a better lens for that than a one or two? Also is it true that blue eyes are generally more sensitive to light than darker color eyes? I feel like that's a hoax but I just wanted to check lmao
Great content. I'm always buying sunglasses (when I find them on sale). What do you think of Ryders Eyeware? They seem to be good quality at a not too crazy price and they always have some kind of a sale going on with certain models.
When buying a pair it usually will have a sticker or it may be written on the side temples. Otherwise you can bring them into some eye clinics and they may have a UV meter. I know we have one at our clinic.
@@DoctorEyeHealth sadly not.. i have no experience with good sunglasses. but thank you, i will check them out. Can i ask you, do you think the VSS symptoms can get worse ? i have that mild static since i was a little child. the other symptoms, like the ones you have, just came about 6 months ago. now im wondering if it could get worse..
I honestly believed that all sunglasses were polycarbonate. I see mid-priced brands that are made out of polycarbonate and have always thought, what is the difference between cheap and expensive sunglasses? Now I know!
Plz answer my question. I am myopic i wear -1.25 glasses.. MY glasses have blue light filter in them i weat them all the time like even when i am not using digital devices even when i am exposed to the sun. I really want to know if i should skip wearing glasses with blue light when i am exposed to sun or when i am studying in sunlight? Plzzz answer me cuz i have Been wearing all the time for a long time 🥺
Love your videos. In reference to Randolph Engineering. I have a bit of a collection. Quick question. Which is best for sailing? The Polorized Nylon American Gray Lenses or the glass Polorized AGX?
Quick question: currently a senior in Hs and planning to start working as a lifeguard, so i need a (at least somewhat decent) pair of polarized glasses. I have been eyeing a pair from blenders recently as they aren’t too expensive and seem to have good ratings. do you have any experience/opinions of the company/their sunglasses?
👋🏻 Ray Ban is one of these brands that don't put AR coating behind the 🕶 except the P3 or Chromance... do you know if it's possible to apply that AR coating to the 🕶 thay don't have it?
That's not true.....I just purchased a pair of Ray-Ban polarized sunnies and you bet there's an AR coating behind the lens. I think the newer models offer this.
What do you recommend for eyeglass wearers in regard to over the top sunglasses that fit over regular prescription glasses? I have extreme myopathy, in the negative 15 area so I really can't afford prescription sunglasses.
Hi i'm a complete noob at sunglasses, i bought a pair of Ray-Ban Caravan last year, they have the classic green Ray-Ban lens and are not polarized, and unfortunately they're not enough for me as i have quite sensitive eyes (i have mild autism which causes me to have very large pupils most of the time so going out on a sunny day kinda feels like being on an inhospitable planet) i still have to squint a bit while wearing them, and also get red and watery eyes by just staying in the sun for a few minutes (even while wearing sunglasses). I was considering a pair of Randolph Aviators (that's how i got here) with grey polarized lenses, do you think that's going to be enough for sensitive eyes or maybe i should go for the cobalt or green lenses? I don't need to be able to stare at the sun with my eyes wide open, i just want to be comfortable walking around on sunny days. Thanks in advance!
Try Beione (get a polarized one)... i have worked in the optical industry and we had UV tester and polarization testers... These glasses were testing as good as the branded ones... plus they have clear lenses.
Hi. I'm about to buy randolph aviators and am wondering about lenses material. One states polycarbonate, other resin lenses. Is it resin means "glassy" material? Or is it still plastic? Thank you!
Well looking at their current website, it seems they now have glass lenses or nylon lenses. Im not 100% sure if the glass is being referred to as Resin, but it sounds like it may.
I’ve had my Ray Bans for 3yrs, polarized lenses and love them still. Plan to get the lenses darkened soon tho. Thx for the information, this will be helpful.
Please explain the blue wave technology of Randolph engineering. Please let us know about impact resistance of the Randolph engineering glasses. I need to know about the Tri Acetate Cellulose lens material and also about the benefits of Red colour sunglasses. Also need to know that the Red coloured sunglasses block 100% blue light.
I am looking for the highest optical quality in regular single vision prescription eye glasses (non sunglasses). Do you have a recommendation for the highest quality lens maker. I am interested in crown glass or something similar if they are available. Please provide a recommendation for the highest quality lenses. Thanks!!
Dr could you please tell me why is it that when I use sun glasses while on contacts my depth perception goes haywire, and if there is any way of improving this. I have -3.5 myopia. Thanks
Possibly astigmatism or a bad fit when your optician fitted your pupillary distance,and/or the typical position of your glasses from your face. If your glasses naturally sit at the center of your nose, but were fitted at the standard 8mm at the bridge of your nose, then the prescription can be slightly off when you look through them. Also, your lenses might be too narrow. If you look outside the lenses,even by accident, the change in magnification can throw off depth perception (from someone who has a much poorer prescription than you). Best if luck finding your sunglasses!🥳
@@katydid5088 you're right I do have a little astigmatism. But like it's below the minimum in contacts I've never corrected it. Thanks for your answer 🙂
Video suggestion: "How to buy sport goggles for adults". Whenever shopping for sport goggles, I find most shops only have frames for children. They will try to sell me the largest child's size. "No thanks". And are absolutely clueless about appropriate frames - will not shatter on impact by a ball, shuttlecock, racket, indoor hockey, etc. So the challenge I am having is: frames for adults & how to stop fogging. Is this true? The higher the index, the more difficult it is to fit the lens into sport goggles since most sport goggles are curved.

I have Transitions Drivewear which are designed to work partly from visible light so do get darker in the car. I've also got Transitions Signature V8 and they do go a little dark in the car. I drive an old Land Rover so pretty much always have the window open - as there is no room for your elbow 😎
Overall I am happier with contacts and Serengeti wraparound sunglasses. But the Drivewear are good too.
I'm a big Tom Ford, Salvatore Ferragamo and Randolph fan
What about risin and accetrate lenses ? Are they good quality
I like your channel so much. Thank you for very important thing everybody supposed to know.
Can you please tell us about Maui Jim sunglasses if you don't mind.
Thank you.
I talked about Maui Jim in this video I did last year on some of my favorite sunglasses. I hope you find that helpful! th-cam.com/video/y163GB4exYY/w-d-xo.html
Hey what you think about yellow coloured sunglasses? Are they good in daytime while driving and night as well?
I wear Rudy Project, Rydon sunglasses with readers for motorcycle riding. With readers built in. Is it safe to wear glass lens based sunglasses? Will they stop a projective? Thanks. Great Channel.
Glass lenses unfortunately are probably not the safest material because they can break and shatter. Otherwise, polycarb lenses or trivex may be best.
@@DoctorEyeHealth I think the Rudy Project sunglasses and mil spec for military application. Sounds like I better stick with them or other polycarbonate lenses. Thanks doc. Great channel. Kam
*Whatever kind of sunglass/eyeglass you wear, you look great.*
Thank you! (sounds like a challenge lol - now to make a video about the ugliest sunglasses lol)
Sir PLS PLS REPLY😢😢🙏🙏 which thing is better for cleaning Eyes & removing any particle/insect from eye:-Sterile wipes or cotton swabs(type/name?)or any other thing (but not drops).
I have a question! With the luminous transmittance, I'm usually squinting even on a cloudy day so would the category three be a better lens for that than a one or two? Also is it true that blue eyes are generally more sensitive to light than darker color eyes? I feel like that's a hoax but I just wanted to check lmao
Hey there, I have brown eyes and still very sensitive to light, go for Serengeti Drivers polarized lens and you won’t be happier.
Are black polarized ray ban lenses good for driving in a very sunny weather ? or are drivewear glasses beter ?
I'm also a huge fan of LINDBERG sunnies as well!!!
Dr, which sunglasses are best for mininizing floaters?
hmmm. tough to say. Not sure if there is a specific one. I would maybe try out a few different colors of lenses and see what feels best.
@@DoctorEyeHealth Thank you. Luckily my floaters are on the top of my field of view, and a lot of lenses are darker on the top.
You don’t talk about optical correction - so the refractive index of the lens doesn’t distort the image to the eyes. Is this covered in another video?
Great content. I'm always buying sunglasses (when I find them on sale). What do you think of Ryders Eyeware? They seem to be good quality at a not too crazy price and they always have some kind of a sale going on with certain models.
How would we know if a pair of sunglasses has 100% uv protection?
When buying a pair it usually will have a sticker or it may be written on the side temples. Otherwise you can bring them into some eye clinics and they may have a UV meter. I know we have one at our clinic.
Thank you for a very informative content. This is what we need.
Great video thanks 😎
i suffer from Visual Snow syndrome with the exact same symptoms as you have. can you please recommend sunglasses that are good for VSS ? Thank you !!!
Have you tried any fl-41 tinted sunglasses from Axon optics or Theraspecs?
@@DoctorEyeHealth sadly not.. i have no experience with good sunglasses. but thank you, i will check them out.
Can i ask you, do you think the VSS symptoms can get worse ? i have that mild static since i was a little child. the other symptoms, like the ones you have, just came about 6 months ago. now im wondering if it could get worse..
I honestly believed that all sunglasses were polycarbonate. I see mid-priced brands that are made out of polycarbonate and have always thought, what is the difference between cheap and expensive sunglasses? Now I know!
Plz answer my question. I am myopic i wear -1.25 glasses.. MY glasses have blue light filter in them i weat them all the time like even when i am not using digital devices even when i am exposed to the sun. I really want to know if i should skip wearing glasses with blue light when i am exposed to sun or when i am studying in sunlight? Plzzz answer me cuz i have Been wearing all the time for a long time 🥺
What glasses tint can I use, if any, to partially hide floaters indoors or when reading, because they're distracting for me.
Thank you
whats a floater

Love your videos. In reference to Randolph Engineering. I have a bit of a collection. Quick question. Which is best for sailing? The Polorized Nylon American Gray Lenses or the glass Polorized AGX?
Maui Jim’s…the best period!
Thanks for the things I never knew. I am much smart shopper now.
Quick question: currently a senior in Hs and planning to start working as a lifeguard, so i need a (at least somewhat decent) pair of polarized glasses. I have been eyeing a pair from blenders recently as they aren’t too expensive and seem to have good ratings. do you have any experience/opinions of the company/their sunglasses?
👋🏻 Ray Ban is one of these brands that don't put AR coating behind the 🕶 except the P3 or Chromance... do you know if it's possible to apply that AR coating to the 🕶 thay don't have it?
That's not true.....I just purchased a pair of Ray-Ban polarized sunnies and you bet there's an AR coating behind the lens. I think the newer models offer this.
What do you recommend for eyeglass wearers in regard to over the top sunglasses that fit over regular prescription glasses? I have extreme myopathy, in the negative 15 area so I really can't afford prescription sunglasses.
You can get clip ons made to fit your specs.
Oh and thanks for the great info btw.

Hi have you done a video on lenses for welding?
Is there a store(s) online or in person that you recommend or to avoid?
The blue looks nice. I would definitely buy glasses with that blue shimmer.
Hi i'm a complete noob at sunglasses, i bought a pair of Ray-Ban Caravan last year, they have the classic green Ray-Ban lens and are not polarized, and unfortunately they're not enough for me as i have quite sensitive eyes (i have mild autism which causes me to have very large pupils most of the time so going out on a sunny day kinda feels like being on an inhospitable planet) i still have to squint a bit while wearing them, and also get red and watery eyes by just staying in the sun for a few minutes (even while wearing sunglasses).
I was considering a pair of Randolph Aviators (that's how i got here) with grey polarized lenses, do you think that's going to be enough for sensitive eyes or maybe i should go for the cobalt or green lenses? I don't need to be able to stare at the sun with my eyes wide open, i just want to be comfortable walking around on sunny days.
Thanks in advance!
I’m assuming when it comes to recycling eyeglasses/sunglasses, the glass lens would be the most eco-friendly option?
Hello doc What can you say about these lenses?
German TAC polarized with Antiscratch and Superhydrophobic coating
Thanks for the tips Doc
Is there an affordable brand that you would recommend? Like say around $30 or so.
Try Beione (get a polarized one)... i have worked in the optical industry and we had UV tester and polarization testers... These glasses were testing as good as the branded ones... plus they have clear lenses.
Do they do prescription sunglasses lenses?
Any recommendations for woman’s sunglasses?
Very interesting. Thanks.
Hi. I'm about to buy randolph aviators and am wondering about lenses material. One states polycarbonate, other resin lenses. Is it resin means "glassy" material? Or is it still plastic? Thank you!
Well looking at their current website, it seems they now have glass lenses or nylon lenses. Im not 100% sure if the glass is being referred to as Resin, but it sounds like it may.
What about the amount of UV protection
I’ve had my Ray Bans for 3yrs, polarized lenses and love them still. Plan to get the lenses darkened soon tho. Thx for the information, this will be helpful.
Thanks Joan! Happy to help. I don't think a lot of people know they can get darker tinted lenses...maybe something for me to share in a future video.
Is there any eye drops that would help me see clearer?
What do you think about Tom Ford sunglass lens quality?
Please explain the blue wave technology of Randolph engineering. Please let us know about impact resistance of the Randolph engineering glasses. I need to know about the Tri Acetate Cellulose lens material and also about the benefits of Red colour sunglasses. Also need to know that the Red coloured sunglasses block 100% blue light.
I am looking for the highest optical quality in regular single vision prescription eye glasses (non sunglasses). Do you have a recommendation for the highest quality lens maker. I am interested in crown glass or something similar if they are available. Please provide a recommendation for the highest quality lenses. Thanks!!
Question: Can Crown glass be used in prescription lenses?
RayBans "non-glass" alternative?
is it possible to replace a hinge? where can one get parts?
Can you recommend Police or RayBan?
Dr could you please tell me why is it that when I use sun glasses while on contacts my depth perception goes haywire, and if there is any way of improving this. I have -3.5 myopia. Thanks
Possibly astigmatism or a bad fit when your optician fitted your pupillary distance,and/or the typical position of your glasses from your face. If your glasses naturally sit at the center of your nose, but were fitted at the standard 8mm at the bridge of your nose, then the prescription can be slightly off when you look through them. Also, your lenses might be too narrow. If you look outside the lenses,even by accident, the change in magnification can throw off depth perception (from someone who has a much poorer prescription than you).
Best if luck finding your sunglasses!🥳
@@katydid5088 you're right I do have a little astigmatism. But like it's below the minimum in contacts I've never corrected it. Thanks for your answer 🙂
Video suggestion: "How to buy sport goggles for adults". Whenever shopping for sport goggles, I find most shops only have frames for children. They will try to sell me the largest child's size. "No thanks". And are absolutely clueless about appropriate frames - will not shatter on impact by a ball, shuttlecock, racket, indoor hockey, etc. So the challenge I am having is: frames for adults & how to stop fogging.
Is this true? The higher the index, the more difficult it is to fit the lens into sport goggles since most sport goggles are curved.
The northern lights lens is cool!
