    Sport goggles sound nice and protective ... but definitely think about whether you will need different lenses for different light conditions. One thing I deal with a lot is intermittent bright sun and dark shade. My old lenses were just too dark for the shade -- I couldn't see the terrain features clearly. Now I definitely look for frames that let you swap lenses. I don't know if there are goggles with that capability.

    I had LASIK several years ago, and while I now need/prefer glasses for, say, reading at the computer, my options have opened up a great deal. For example, the rudy project eyewear I just got allows prescription inserts behind the lenses ... but when I read the fine print, it's only up to -4 diopters. Nowadays, that's fine for me, but back in the day, I would have needed something like a -9.5.

    I know how much of a pain it can be to be active when you really need your glasses. Good luck in your quest!

    Oh man! Ouch! Never had an endo (knock on wood). Hope you're getting over your beating!

    Most of the bruises have healed.
    The hemtoma is still huge.
    I've been to the dr. twice about it and I'll go again-
    the edges are kinda hard under the skin and very painful...
    so time to have it looked at again.

    Also-

    I think I've found a pair of cycling glasses- they are prescription- made by an Italian company- I can't remember the name... they come with 3 lenses- polarized, amber and clear- and have inserts for my prescription lenses.

    And - the guy will cut a deal if I want to get a pair of cycling glasses and regular glasses at the same time!


    Woohoo!
    Whe you come to the end of all you know-
    and you are about to step off into the darkness
    faith is knowing one of two things will happen-
    there will be something solid to stand on-
    or you will be taught to fly...

    Italian? Sounds like Rudy Project =P

    Regardless, glad to hear you're getting all the right stuffs.

    Sorry about the leg =/ I got a nasty bruise -- not a hematoma, though -- the same week as you got your owie, and while the discoloration is gone, it's still a bit sensitive and even walking makes it unhappy. Healing takes more time that we'd like it to, that's for sure.

    (And the elbow I ripped up at the same time is scarring nicely, thank you very much =P)
