Prescription Glasses? If so, I believe some goggles can have prescription lenses fitted, but that could be pricey. I think Desert Locusts might be able to, pretty sure they'd be big enough. Not 100% though, sorry :/
If you're wearing mesh glasses with regular glasses underneath, even if they do shatter the fragments will not even scratch your prescription glasses. No risk of getting hurt that way...
I have just ordered prescription insert lenses for £50. If you include the cost of my tactical glasses it's a total of £85. I also have a strong prescription which goes to show it won't cost the Earth for a pair!
well, dalloway, my we were camping and me and my friend went through tough times during canoeing. And when a wave occurred, it splashed the paddle upwards and smacked him in across the eye. His contacts shattered and had fragments in his eyes. Soooooo..... well, he said that it was like having a vision of a bee where he saw "6" of me. Doesn't sound appealing.
he was either wearing really, really olschool hard lenses or talking complete sh*t, as a contact lens wearer of many years I cannot conceive of any force that could do that to a modern soft contact lens and not completely obliterate the eyeball it was attached to.
THAT SOUNDS ENOUGH TO BLIND ANYONE! Contact lenses are not made from a material that can't shatter unless ill treated, I.e not rinsed in solution every day if they are monthly/yearly type or worn for more than the stated amount of time if they are of the daily type. I suspect the paddle that hit your friends eye may have moved the lense off centre or knocked the lense out and distorted vision for a period of time. Trust me. Contact lenses are perfectly safe. If you have any questions...
Had a look at my brother's contacts. Unless your friend decided to bake his contacts at 900C before wearing them they should just squish around, not "shatter".
