Re: Safety Goggles headaches..

Has anyone found a pair of safety glasses that are very good optically?As a photographer lower quality optics between my eye and the viewfinder tend to cause problems. I know that it is horrible but in our shop if I am taking pictures of people working I do not wear safety glasses for this reason. My exact logic is, if whatever it is can burrow through 4 inches of plastic and metal safety glasses wont do anything. Obviously when the camera is not in front of my eyes I wear safety glasses. I would like to stop being a bad example but haven't found any safety glasses meeting my criteria.

The optical quality may also be causing headaches for some people, I know from experience that looking at a blurred picture will give me horrible headaches, I imagine if the whole world was like that (bad optical quality) it would cause me some major problems.

Cleaning chemicals can also cause major problems, I know that I dont let anyone clean my glasses, I insist on doing it myself with the same cloth I use for my lenses and some soapy water. The last time I cleaned the aluminum body of my computer I used rubbing alcohol and it caused me to be dizzy and have a bad headache for a couple hours. Some people are incredibly sensitive to scent.

The best solution for this problem is going out and trying on pairs of glasses until you find one that doesnt hurt, then buy 4 of them (You will inevitably scratch them or lose them and they will no longer be made) And remember, these are your EYES we are talking about, by a quality pair or two, dont skimp on them, you only get one set of eyes and it would really stink to lose them.
