eye questions
« on: October 06, 2008, 06:39:47 pm »
Has anybody got any ideas what to wear at night to a wiener roast/bonfire.  I can start out with my Panoptix sunglasses with the foam inserts but what can I do after dark to keep the smoke and maybe wind out of my eye.  I wear glasses so that makes it difficult, also that cornea is numb so I can't feel if something gets in it. 
Any ideas?   I am sure I am paranoid about my eye but I want to protect it>  Karen   Has anybody tried to wear something under their glasses?

Try a hardware store for safety glasses that are designed to be worn over regular glasses. That should keep smoke and dust out of your eye.

I taped my eye and wore an eyepatch under my glasses at the same sort of smoky and dusty event.  Worked fine.
