[nabs-l] Sleep shade question

[Jim Reed]

I called my eye doctor and asked about those foam lined sunglasses, and she said the cheapest pair was like $130. Thats an awful lot to spend on a pair of glasses that will effectivly be ruined by painting the lens black. I hope the NFB store at convention has them cheaper than that. 

Does it really matter that all light, and all vision be blocked? For exampe, I could buy the cheapest pair of sunglasses at the gas station and paint the lenses black,  and as long as the lenses are big enough to block my visual field, I don't see why they wouldnt work.

stuff done.

Hello Sarah and listers,

They can also be ordered from the Independence Market. If you're coming to
convention be sure to pick up a pair from the NFB Store.

Hey! I like the sleepshades!  Theya re to me very comfertable and they help
when you are chopping onions. Wallmart might have something but they itch
like crazy. You could also maybe where some dark glasses or something like
that.

Hey all,
Is there anything out there that is designed to serve the same function as a
sleep shade without making you look like the idiot who's wearing sleep
shades? (No offense meant to anyone)

Thanks,
Jim
