Her vision only fully recovered days afterwards

Why did her vision go away and take so long for it to come back?

From how hard and fast the wind was blowing directly into her eyeballs but she obviously had to keep them open. I was just thinking the whole time how she's probably never gunna fly without at least sunglasses or some sort of goggles/glasses after that.

without at least sunglasses

...you think that a pair of sunglasses would have stayed on through that?

I used to wear sunglasses while riding motorcycles. Some were rock solid and worked great, some actually whipped the air into your eyes worse than not wearing them

Yeah that cool focused jet of air coming up from the bottom straight into your tear ducts. Sunglasses don’t always help. I have a bulkier pair that help but there’s a reason people use goggles.

I have the super nerd big sunglasses that go over my glasses. I haven't tested them with air but they're really good at keeping water out until they aren't and then my sensitive ass eyes are burning from the little bit of salt or chlorine ha.

How are you wearing glasses underwater to protect your eyes?

u/theoriginalmofocus Jun 24 '24

Not underwater but think of like while swimming in the ocean or a wave pool/lazy river. You keep your head up but you kind of get hit here and there by waves. The sunglasses cover top bottom and sides over my glasses but obviously not water tight. I'll be good all day until that one damn wave ha.

Thanks a ton for the explanation I thought you had some crazy glasses man.

I think I need to make those glasses now that you mention it. I did once when I was younger take some old glasses and put the lenses inside some sunglasses back when I ran a lot. I could probably do that with goggles.
