Bill, Don't know if the ones I got come in prescription. I'll try and remember to ask Tim when I talk to him later.


Regarding Zenni, I used them once. Price was right, had to get my prescription from my eye doctor and do some measurements on my own. Glasses are cheap, seem decent for light duty, little fragile for heavy wear, but that's more the frames I picked (I went real cheap to test them out). Comparable glasses from my eye doc run $400.

Don't worry too much about it, I was simply curious. The ones I had (and will order again) cost very little - I did have to pay a bit more because my prescription is so extreme. I was just wondering is all. Thanks!

Got the new goggles! Even better, they fit under my Pirhana Gear head protection, which I like better than the foam-dipped stuff (the old goggles just didn't fit under it).

These came from Zenni Optical; very inexpensive, even with my strong prescription.

I'm glad you're okay, bud. And I hope you ordered some more of those glasses.

It must have been quite a point of view from your perspective.

It was over pretty quickly! Hard to say what I saw, except stars!

Bill, I think the problem here is that You made a rookie mistake, and forgot that You need to condition Your eyeball for hard contact before You actually dive right into it.

I suspect you are absolutely right. I need an eyeball makiwara.
