Protective Goggles

supersarsfields · October 09, 2013, 01:02:02 PM

Just looking a bit of help here. Got laser eye surgery done there and am looking to return to football in a week or two. But want to get a set of goggles for the first few weeks, just to be on the safe side. Just normal lenses, none prescription.
Anyone used any previously? I've been looking at some sets on-line but hard to get a idea of how open your view would be. Someone also mentioned that Squash goggles might be an option?

So any advice on makes/ places to get them/ types etc would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers Corner back. I was kind of thinking something more enclosed than those. More like work goggles rather than sunglass type if you know what I mean.

Something like this,

Already been on to him Bensars. His were perscription ones which I don't need, and a bit out of my price range!!

SS, when you snap off the "legs" & use the strap they are a tight fit - you can borrow mine if you want to see if they are suitable...

I might take you up on that just to see what they're like. I'm going to take a look at one's tonight so will let you know if I don't get sorted.
