Question about Sunglasses or Sea Specs

[Idok]

Ok first off, I am a total n00b, so I hope this doesn't sound stupid. I moved to FL a few months ago (I'm Jetaddict's roomie) and want to get started in skiing in the next few months or so, but I have an odd issue with my eyes. If my eyes get wet, I cannot reopen them without drying them with a towel, because ALL of my eyelashes go into my eyes, and it hurts like absolute hell. Does wearing sunglasses or sea specs while you ride keep the majority of water out of your eyes? I'm just worried about submerging when I go out and then going through serious pain trying to open my f-ing eyes again. Lol. :dunno:
Thanks in advance for the input.

The water is washing away the normal lubrication from your tears. You're sensitive to this loss of lubricity and subsequently start feeling your lids rubbing against your corneas each time you blink.

Keep practicing. You'll get used to it.

Probably.

[Shonuff]

Why is Astro-Glide always your answer to everything?

Stuck impeller, loss of compression, drunk prom queen, etc.

It's always the same with you.

Its like duct tape...only you know, slippery.

Cadillac in a Doghouse with astro-glide they say

Overton 'Spex' work very well.

I don't use mine much anymore but it was $60 well spent. They are designed to snug up to your face and is vented at the lens. The water that hits your face mostly/all flow over the dense foam that's snug up against your face and runs inside of the lens instead of your face and eyes.

That makes sense, except if I towel dry them they feel 100%, so unfortunately I don't think that's it. I wish it was though.

its a mixture of loss of lubrication as well as a normal, irritative reponse of cornea + saltwater + sunlight


Listen to Sho, he taught me everything I know and has stickers to prove it!

yeah, and if you ever go to a ride that he is at, you will wake up the next morning with your own stickers.
