Unbelievable! I did a job yesterday without goggles; I thought I was going blind from the burning sensation; today I did another one; used my daughters swimming goggles (read Cheap!); and I experienced zero, yes zero discomfort! Of course it was a little hard to see clearly, since I am far sighted, and wear glasses for close up work; I had to put the glasses on the outside of the goggles; but what a difference. Next time I am going to try the face mask style of swimming gear instead of the little kind that just cover the eyes; then perhaps I can wear my glasses on the inside of the face mask, and see better. thank you for your suggestion!
