  When you are choosing protective eyewear for your child, it is better to choose polycarbonate lenses cuz it works well to protect eyes from fast-moving objects impact-resistant lens material. Make sure the size fit properly on your child face.

• Is there any difference between ski goggles for guys and girls?

  I don't think there is much difference between ski goggles for guys and girls. Maybe the only difference between them is the size because girls have smaller heads than guys in most cases. Sometimes the color of the lens or the design may differ between girls and guys.

• Can I use ski goggles for eye protection in BB gun?

  I think you can. I often wear my sunglasses as protective eyewear and they also work. Ski goggles should also work too.

• What kind of goggles should I get?

  You can try Anon goggles. Each Anon goggles model also has a variety of frames and lenses. The five models are: Helix, Realm, Figment, Subrosa and Solace. All Anon goggles feature interchangeable strap technology. This technology allows you to easily swap straps between Solace, Realm, Figment etc… Anon goggles also have anti-fog style, which combats lens fogging and delivering clearer vision in foggy weather conditions.

  A small eye injury can cause big changes in vision. Without proper care, you may even lose your sight finally. So every problem connected to our eyes should be valued. Go to see your doctor now.

• Can LASIK surgery correct vision problems caused by an eye injury?

  It is hard to say. The lasik surgery will only work on the cornea and resculpt the cornea to replace the flap. If your cornea has been damaged, you may not be able to have lasik surgery. You need to find out the exact cause of the vision loss.

• Is it hard to get vision insurance if you already have glasses?

  No, it is not like that. If people wearing glasses can't apply for vision insurance, there is no point for it. Vision insurance only covers the cost of an annual eye exam and glasses/contacts out over the course of a years premiums. They wont even ask you whats the problem with your eyes when you apply for it.
