[Sportsandrec] Black out glasses

[Ginny Duff]

Does anyone know where to buy black out glasses?   I know they have been used in competitive sports...   I am actually looking for them for someone who is so painfully photophobic that blacking out everything would be helpful - at least temporarily .  
Thanks, 

Ginny
