I ordered a pair of pink onion goggles from amazon.com on July 21, and even though they showed up as in-stock, in reality they were on back order. Go figure. Anyway in the meantime I had an eyelid implant and figured I wouldn't need them after all.
Today I drove up to Columbia, and on the way home my eye got really dry and itchy. By the time I got home I was ready to slather on some Refresh PM and slap on the pirate patch, but the box from Amazon was in the mailbox, so I decided to try the goggles on for size.
They are seriously helpful! I just put in a drop of Refresh Liquigel and have been wearing the goggles for about an hour, and my eye feels much better. I have a pair of ProOptx goggles that I can wear outside in the sun, but since these are clear. I can wear them at the computer. I look like a dork, but less so than wearing an eye shield or patch.
They only run about $20 and come in white, black (with a green stripe) and pink. The pink ones even came with a little tag indicating a donation for breast cancer research if that is important to you. (It is to me. My grandmother died of breast cancer, my mom was treated for breast cancer last summer and I figure it's only a matter of time until it's my turn.)
Thumbs up for onion goggles!
