FULLY Mirrored Swim Goggles?

ok. so my girlfriend is doing water-polo as a sport this year and she told me she wants mirrored goggles for christmas.

Well first off if she’s playing water polo she probably won’t need goggles except in swim drills really because in water polo you cannot wear goggles and second I believe if they say mirrored they are “fully” mirrored because I couldn’t imagine a pair of goggles thats half mirrored. I understand her want to not let her opponents see her eyes but you can’t wear goggles so tell her when she shoots to look at the opposite side of the goal shes shooting at

How old should your child be to wear contact lenses

Research undertaken by the Indiana University School of Ophthalmology says that most children have physically matured enough to wear contact lenses by the age of 11-13.  Many eye care and medical professionals say that in most cases, children as young as eight are capable of wearing lenses correctly and comfortably.  Eight years of age does sound very young to be wearing contact lenses, but research has shown that children are actually better at looking after lenses, as well as fitting them, than adults.  This is because children are less likely to become complacent with their lens cleaning regimes and a child is more likely to follow the advice of a medical professional than their parents.

Most optometrists prescribe daily, soft contact lenses to children as it eliminates the need to go through a daily cleaning routine, and soft lenses have been shown to mould to the eye better, increasing comfort and improving fit.

There are many reasons to let your child wear contact lenses, apart from the obvious cosmetic reasons.  Children who are happier with their appearances have greater self-esteem, which may help them become more confident in the classroom.  This may see improvements in school grades and making new friends.  Contacts are also a safer option for active children as the danger of eyeglasses breaking and causing injury has been eliminated.  The only sport where the use of contact lenses is not recommended is water sports (such as water polo), but prescription goggles are available.        

The big question is, is your child ready for contact lenses?  Even with the daily contact lenses a certain degree of responsibility is required.  If you aren’t sure if your child is ready for contact lenses, think about how well your child remembers to carry out any chores or tasks you set them (e.g. feeding pets, taking out the rubbish).  If you don’t feel your child is ready for them yet explain to them that you don’t feel they are responsible enough yet, tell them how to show you they are responsible, and take them to see the latest Harry Potter film, which professionals say has helped increase the popularity and “cool” image of eyeglasses.

Water polo and Contact Lenses?

Im planning on joining the water polo team next year coz I forgot to sign up over the summer this year, but Im a little worried about my contacts.

whenever I swim I just take them off coz i dont really need to see..i just really needa see the end of the pool and thats it. I dont really know how to play water polo yet but I know that you need to be able to see clearly lol

i dont usually play waterpolo, unless just for fun with friends n’ stuff (which water polo is fun…unless ur playing with people ur not used to then its awkward to like tackle people for the ball haha)

but im a swimmer and i usually just have my contacts on with my goggles. when ur underwater though, it’ll seem a little like…idk how to explain it. like everything feels kinda magnified with contacts on but you get used to it. its not a big deal.

but the thing is, if you get too much water in your eyes while wearing contacts, it could possibly damage your eyes some. so just be a little careful thats all. other than that, you can just basically wear them in the water =P

though im sure prescription goggles would work just as fine

Promised Land [CD-ROM] Queensryche’s follow-up to the double-platinum Empire is something of an acquired taste, but it’s well worth the effort. There’s considerable variety here; the heavy progressive-rock of “I Am I” and the ballad “Bridge” were hit singles, but there’s also the funk-inflected “Disconnected”, the edgy, spooky “Lady Jane”, and the piano-and-vocals “Someone Else?”. The title track is probably the stronge…
