Troopers with glasses...helpppp.....

[Rezablad3[TK]]

Hi Guys,

 

so last night i took my niece and nephew out for trick or treating, unfortunately it was night time, so already it was hard to look where i was going. i wear glasses so its even harder to wear inside the bucket.

So i ended up tripping over a little boy, knocked over a trash can, and falling down more a few time, I'm very surprised that my armor was able to take that much beating... but as far as seeing goes, very minimal,

i even used smaller glasses but just ended up poking into my eyes.

 

i was wondering if any troopers have had any problems like this, especially those of you who wear glasses...how did you guys solve this problem?

 

Thanks.

I wear glasses and they fit fine under the RS Lid.

 

That being said last night the lenses on my lid fogged up something fierce since it was cold and I was sweating in the armor.

 

I found the best way to go was sort of shuffle step on unfamiliar ground.

 

 

Also it helps if you can to look out of your frown to see the ground.

 

The days of seeing your feet are pretty much over....

That's true Frank. A kid was standing in front of me and i couldnt even see him.

I do have an RS bucket, but didnt really use it for trooping, i just used my AP, and with padding in the helmet, it really doesnt leave much room in the helmet.

I am a glasses wearer and find contacts very uncomfortable. That being said, I did get contacts to wear under my bucket. They are uncomfortable and I don't see nearly as well but its better than blind or foggy.

I wear glasses, but when i am at a Troop, I don't wear them. It was strange for me at the beginning, but I got used to it.

[Rezablad3[TK]]

Ive never worn contacts, but probably wont give it a try because i dont think i have the discipline to keep things clean. i guess its just something i have to get use to then..

but i was wondering if glasses like oakley's would work, those glasses that actually hugs your eyes...

 

maybe something like this, but made into prescription glasses

Depends on how your bucket fits. I have lots of room at the front but non on the sides so wrap-arounds didn't work for me. Take your bucket to the glasses store with you to fit them and make sure you clean your lenses with anti-fog before you kit up.

[Rezablad3[TK]]

The bucket fits me fine, i have plenty room in there, its just the glasses usually pokes me in the eye every time i move. So i was browsing around, perhaps this could work for us troopers with glasses, it doesnt cost so much, so im gonna try it and let you guys know, perhaps it could be a solution for us glasses troopers. .....

I don't wear glasses and couldn't see out of the green lens hardly at all last night. Combine that with trying to bend over to put a piece of candy in a kids bag! Ugh!

 

Finally I just took the lens out. Not as cool looking but I could actually see!

It is, quite simply, not easy to see through TK lenses in poor lighting

And that's with 20/20

Thats true... I wonder if theres a way to make prescription lenses and mount it straight to the bucket...

Maybe get the sports frames made...like they wear for racquetball?

Find an optometrist who's a Star Wars fan

You'll probably have to pay for the lenses

But you'll totally make his day/week/year
