Myopia Goggles That Won't Pop My Eyes Out

Card image cap

I know there's a lot of threads on this already and there isn't a magical singular universal solution, but still, I'd like to give this a try.

I have pretty severe myopia (about -7.50 or more), moving without prescription glasses or goggles is a huge fall risk.

Unfortunately, I've struggled with prescription goggles over 10 years and I'm so tired. They're either:

  • A) put so much pressure on my sockets it gives me an awful headache/sinus pain and feels like my eyes are about to pop out

  • B) fairly comfortable, but then start leaking water inside

  • C) don't fit my gigantic nose

  • D) all of the above

It's irrational but given that I have a connective tissue disease that makes everything lax and prone to injury, I'm a little terrified I'll actually burst a major vessel in my eyes or something.

I'm not sure what features I should be looking at. Bigger goggles? Smaller? Rectangular? Circular?

I'm happy to hear any experiences, maybe feedback you heard from friend of a friend, etc.

P.S. Contact lenses absolutely are not an option, thanks Sjogrens.
