Solar Shield Square Lite

$6.50 -- Cheap eye protection that fits over glasses, in clear or dark grey.

WHAT IT IS

Solar Shields are a simple plastic 'fit-over' type sunglasses product. There is no foam lining but the coverage of the frame itself extends so far at the top and the bottom that you can get quite a bit of protection from them.

Choose CLEAR for indoor wear (sorry, no picture of the clear ones but the entire thing is clear) or SMOKE for outdoors or photosensitivity.

Comes with a drawstring vinyl carry pouch.

WHAT REBECCA SAYS

In cases of severe dry eye, protective eyewear for daytime use (often called "moisture chambers") can make a huge difference to comfort. Indoors, it will greatly reduce your exposure to dry, overheated or airconditioned air; allergens; dust, etc. and will also help mitigate the drying effect of reduced blinking when you're staring at the computer, without you having to put drops in constantly. Outdoors, it will protect you from the wind, dust etc.

But people who wear glasses have limited options for moisture chambers, and almost all good options cost several hundred dollars (e.g. 7Eye, Wiley-X, MEGs etc).

This product was recommended by a couple of patients who had tried them and found them very helpful. It's cheap, so don't expect it to be fancy or to last for years, but it does the job. Great way to test out the concept and see whether some form of moisture chamber might help you, and for some people it will be a good backstop or longer-term tool. You won't get the 100% coverage that you'd get with something foam-lined, but you'll get quite a bit at the top and sides. Aesthetically, it is much better than the motorcycle goggle type approach. Vision-wise, you also get much better peripheral vision (well, depending on your prescription I guess) out of these than goggles.
