poconoceancity Posted March 4, 2005 Report Posted March 4, 2005 Jeff, I looked at your picture and noticed you wear glasses under your goggles...is that irritating. Every time I tryed it or even wore contacts while boarding it bothers my eyes Quote
AtomicSkier Posted March 4, 2005 Report Posted March 4, 2005 Jeff, I looked at your picture and noticed you wear glasses under your goggles...is that irritating. Every time I tryed it or even wore contacts while boarding it bothers my eyes nope, no problem, and those were my goggles made for glasses. i recently switched to A-frames, just normal a-frames, and the inside space is smaller, it still accomodates my glasses. No problems. Quote

Zonked Posted March 4, 2005 Report Posted March 4, 2005 my contacts pretty much never bother my eyes..there are a select few times where my eyes start to tear so bad that im afraid to take my goggles off because i dont want people to think I just cried ha Quote
AtomicSkier Posted March 4, 2005 Report Posted March 4, 2005 What brand goggle/helmet do you wear? leedom scream cut, and oakley a-frames... btw, moving to the "Gear" section Quote
skigurl Posted March 4, 2005 Report Posted March 4, 2005 i've worn both under my goggles, and i've got kid, not youth, kid goggles, and it's fine, but glasses under goggles with helmet was kinda uncomfortable Quote
Schif Posted March 4, 2005 Report Posted March 4, 2005 Before I got contacts the only problem I had with my glasses was that they fogged up a lot. Btw Jeff, I have the same goggles as you, and I love them. Quote

Btw Jeff, I have the same goggles as you, and I love them. my helmet/goggles match my skis perfectly yea, i do love the goggles, though they're a little bit too dark for night skiing Quote
Schif Posted March 4, 2005 Report Posted March 4, 2005 (edited) I got a different lens put in them when I got them. It looks kinda like yours but is a little more transparent. It cuts down on glare during the day, and works just as well at night. Edited March 4, 2005 by Schifdawg Quote
skifreak Posted March 4, 2005 Report Posted March 4, 2005 Jeff, I hope your PASR sticker is on the back of that helmet. Quote

zaldon Posted March 7, 2005 Report Posted March 7, 2005 well i have contacts not saying i ever wear them but a few times i have gone snowboarding with them and it caused no problems. Quote
insomniac Posted March 8, 2005 Report Posted March 8, 2005 I had a fire lens, but got a High Intensity blue because the fire lense is just wayyyyy to dark. I wear contacts under my goggles, and I've never had a problem. I hated wearing glasses under my goggles. Quote
LineSki Posted March 8, 2005 Report Posted March 8, 2005 i have oakley glasses, and they told me you can get prescription lenses for goggles. like rec specs and other goggles like a frames. Quote

I'm gunna get a pair of wisdoms for the night. Quote
LineSki Posted March 8, 2005 Report Posted March 8, 2005 i got the wisdoms with a real light lenses they are great. the lense has like three levels. dark at the the top to get the light then it gets lighter, and even more lighter. best goggles i ever bought and i used to have a frames. Quote
Margaritaville Skier Posted March 8, 2005 Report Posted March 8, 2005 Go for the Lasik. No problems with your glasses fogging up and you can look up into the snow and rain. Quote
skimom Posted March 8, 2005 Report Posted March 8, 2005 (edited) Nestors sells goggles that can go over glasses. I have them, but once had a fall where the goggles with glasses smashed into my face and the glasses broke, leaving me with a big guage immediately adjacent to my eye. Now fearful of enucleating my eyes, I usually just ski blind. They also make goggles that contain prescription lenses. I've thought of that. Who knows, maybe I'll go for lasik.

NJSkiFamily Posted March 8, 2005 Report Posted March 8, 2005 I've seen both kids and adults wearing their glasses under their goggles. They said it doesn't bother them at all. Skimom, that's my biggest fear with wearing glasses under my goggles. Unfortunately, lasik is no good for me as my vision is so bad the surgery would not get me to 20/20 and I'd still need glasses/contacts. So why bother. Quote
zaldon Posted March 9, 2005 Report Posted March 9, 2005 I've seen both kids and adults wearing their glasses under their goggles. They said it doesn't bother them at all. well i used to were glasses be for i started to snowboard and i hated every minute of them always fall. i don't see how any one could go over jumps or over really any terrain with out their glasses hitting their goggles Quote
Zonked Posted March 9, 2005 Report Posted March 9, 2005 my dad had that lasik surgery done..but the only thing is that he needs readin glass's to read the newspaper. But otherwise he is very happy he got the surgery done Quote
zaldon Posted March 9, 2005 Report Posted March 9, 2005 (edited) i know a guy that got lasik surgery done and his eyes hurt around loud noises. Edited March 9, 2005 by zaldon Quote
