photos of me in Eagle Vision moisture chambers

[Rojzen]

For those wondering what the Eagle Vision shields look like when fitted on to regular glasses, to create moisture chamber glasses, here (in attached photos) I am at my very recent wedding , proudly sporting the specs: (3 photos are provided, in order to feature the glasses from different angles)

How lovely! They really are well-hidden, aren't they. Thank you for sharing and best wishes!

Congratulations! The glasses are really much more discreet than I thought they would be. Thank you for sharing these pics.

They (and you) are lovely!!!

Thank you so much for posting the photos of you wearing your moisture chambers. What a wonderful memory you must have of such a special day. You look beautiful, and the joy in your eyes is clearly evident through your minimally present glasses and moisture chambers! Best wishes to you!!!

Ahhhhh...

[Rojzen]

even better

Thank you, friends, for enjoying those photos of the moisture chambers at my wedding Your kind and warm words will keep me afloat all week. . .

I should say that the pair of moisture chambers I'm wearing in the photos are actually the klutziest I've ever had made. . .Prior pairs were even more delicate, with the chambers essentially invisible. . .All a good testimonial to how amazingly tasteful these can be, while providing superb protection from moving air. . .

I should also say that my new hubby always found my moisture chambers invisible Right from the start, he took no notice of my glasses or my affliction at all, except to care deeply, with me, about the quest for better and better solutions. . .In contrast, I had another family member once tell me that my RecSpecs were scaring her, and that I should take them off . . .which taught me a lesson in the need to steer clear of those around us who just don't get it, and who are even willing to take us down. . .I suppose there's a primitive urge, in many people, to shun or even punish the afflicted. . .Sometimes we can re-educate these people. . .and sometimes we should just move on and up. . .

More soon. . .

Wow, thanks

What a lovely wedding! Thanks for sharing it with us. You married a good looking man and he sounds so sweet. And you look absolutely beautiful!

The glasses look perfectly normal. Well hidden. I've had them before but they were not well fitted and they actually broke my frame due to the way they were installed. Be sure to get someone who is familiar with the installation to do it.

congrats and you both look lovely!!

congrats congrats!!!

you look lovely. i can't even see the side shields. can the shield fit over any type of glass frames or you need a specific type or material? does it add additional weight which tips your glasses down or do you use a head band to hold it tight against your face? all and all, it looks really discreet but is it effective like the panoptx?

best wishes, chris

fit and weight of moisture chambers

Oh, yes! It is so important to have these made by someone who is versed in the technique. . .

Nope. . .the shields add almost no weight to the glasses. . .and there is certainly no need to use a band to keep the glasses on . . .

The shields do not fit over the glasses. . .They are simply very lightweight clear vinyl cylinders that surround each lens, and that are inserted between the lens and frame. . .The cylinders are stuffed in at the same time as the lenses are. . .The optician receives the glasses, with long cylinders extending out of them, and then uses scissors to shape the cylinders to fit the space between the frames and the face, and to remove excess vinyl sticking out of the front of the glasses. . .

The Eagle Vision material is so lightweight, by the way, that it is outright fragile. . .Enough to keep out air, but very soft and bendable and thin. . .Keeping the chambers clean is difficult, as one cannot submerse the glasses safely, and rubbing on the chambers is risky. . .Cleaning is a very delicate process. . .and, alas, some debris does collect in the tiny channel between lens and frame. . .

Because moisture chambers use regular lenses, with no wraparound curve, perfect vision correction is possible. . .I long for Panoptyx, with removable/cleanable gaskets, and no need for custom fittings, but there are few sport glass makers who have completely eliminated distortion of Rx at high index prescription levels. . .or who even make lenses with strong prescriptions, bifocals, or progressives. . .

Hope that helps. . .

Thank you

Rojzen,

First of all, congratulations on your wedding. Thank you for sharing the pictures. The shields are more discrete than I would have thought. You look beautiful.

I had an optician show me those type of shields on a pair of glasses and I thought they looked horrible. It could be that the pair she showed me were on a very large man's frame and they were shoved in a drawer. If they don't come out with the MEGs soon, I may look into these. Do you know if they can make them with a tinted shield so they can be used as sunglasses. You and I are in the same boat as far as high prescriptions go and it is hard when you can't get an attractive pair of sunglasses that really block air from getting behind them. I had thought about getting Rec specs too, but I was told the couldn't do them for me because they still had a base curve of 6. Mine have to be flat in front.

Best wishes to you and your new husband.

tinted shields and base curves

Oh, yes! I failed to mention that Scott Kornfeld, a master optician in NY, routinely makes moisture chambers using dark-tinted shields. . .Patients who can afford multiple glasses often order clear lenses and clear shields in one pair, and another pair with dark lenses and dark shields. . .

Also, YES YES YES. . .Do avoid sport glasses with curved lenses if your Rx is likely to get distorted by the curvature. . .My RecSpecs sit unused, much of the time, because hard as they tried, the lab people who made the lenses couldn't get them to work. . .and I can see little out of the specs, ultimately. . .

I'm hearing from people about expense associated with traditional moisture chambers. . .I've had opticians add and customize my shields for as little as $50, above and beyond the glasses. . .and other opticians charge me well over $300, just for the addition of the shields. . .Not all opticians used Eagle Vision material, moreover. . .At Bascom Palmer, I believe they still use a slightly harder plastic. . .I loved that product, when I had it long ago, but it could cause injury when glasses are bumped into the face. . .Also, they tend to crack, over time, whereas the softer Eagle shields tend to tear/rip, over time. . .
