• 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 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.

• Can I wear Ski Goggles over prescription Glasses?

  Yes. A lot of companies make OTG (over the glasses) type of goggles, but they are not convenient to use. Why don't you choose prescription goggles? They offer more convenient and effective solution and sharpen much of the clarity that can be lost between two separate lenses.

• 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.

• Are Extended Contact Lenses really safe to use?

  When you wear extended contacts for a long time, potentially dangerous microorganisms can adhere to the lenses and get trapped between the lenses and your eyes. These microbes thrive in the warm, moist environment under your contact lenses, especially when your eyelids are closed during sleep. And because contact lenses reduce the oxygen supply to your corneas, your eyes are less able to fight off infections. So many doctors began encouraging patients to always remove their contacts before sleep.

• Is there any permanent solution for eye allergies?

  I think the eye allergy won't go away until you find the true cause of this allergy and avoid it as much as possible and take preventive measure to it. There is no permanent solution for eye allergies.

• Do extended wear contact lenses also have different colors?

  NO, extended contacts can't come in different colors. Because the extended wear lenses should have high oxygen transmission levels and enable our eyes to breath more, but with colors, they can't. So they won't accept the colors.

• Do I need to see an eye doctor for the eye injury?

  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.
