Need advice for goggles to protect eye
Posted: Wed Sep 10, 2025 9:20 pmHi,
My husband has a severely compromised cornea and is not supposed to get it wet in the ocean - for the rest of his life. I'm trying to figure out a way to get him back on the water surfing smaller waves, maybe body boarding. Has anyone come up with a system of larger goggles (for visibility) or swimming goggles along with the right strap and a cap or neoprene hood to keep them on your face when you wipe out? My thought was a hood with oversized swim goggles like these: https://www.big5sportinggoods.com/store/details/nike-expanse-adult-swim-mask/3320128460151/_/A-7284011. One question is where to get a strap that does not stretch since people have commented it won't stay on otherwise.
Has any one found a solution? Any suggestions?
Thanks!
