Waterproof swimming goggles?

Freiheit

I've quite a disabling eye problem and my eyes are very sensitive to the chemicals in water,can anyone recommend goggles that would 100% or at least 99% waterproof when in a pool?

I'm not sure whether these would work for you, but my eyes are very sensitive also and I tried out a load of goggles, I eventually settled on a pair of zoggs predator CV's. I've been very happy with them since. They have a very good seal, at least around my eyes and are fairly comfortable at the same time. Only bad thing is that they haven't got an adjustable nose piece so I was lucky that they fitted me nicely.

Google fit tends to be a question of personal fit and different models will suit different size/shapes. Unfortunately that means it is largely a matter of trial and error. Luckily the cheapest of the cheap speedo one's suit me, whereas my husband has to buy ones that are much more expensive.

One idea to save some money is to ask the pool lifeguard to try on all the goggles in the lost and found box as there is usually a variety there.

An alternative approach is to try and identify which chemicals you have a problem with. For example, you might do better in an ozone treated pool. Similarly, start open water swimming for a zero chemical (well, that's debatable but no specific disinfectant chemicals) swim.

Thanks...I've a problem with nearly every chemical....even have to frequently add artifical tears to my eyes so dry and sensitive are they...sadly even often close my eyes in the shower..I do enjoy the shower...and swimming but water, any water is an irritant..doesn't do damage, just irritates...:cool:
