  1. I like to walk outdoors, and my problem in the cold weather is that when
    I bundle myself up with a scarf and hat, my glasses fog up.

    I see the people who make Barracudas make a line called Bugz that says
    they're for "winter" and "motor" sports - anyone have any idea if these
    would do what I need, or care to suggest alternatives? I'd love
    something that comes in a prescription version as opposed to something
    that fits over my glasses. FWIW, I also wear hard contact lens but
    usually walk before showering and leaving the house and thus don't have
    my lens in yet.

    TIA.

    -S-

  2. YOu might look a little funny walking down 5th ave wearing Bugz. I
    think they are ski goggles.

    I don't care if I look a little funny - if they work.

    Is your vision problem not fixable with laser surgery?

    Perhaps I should explain - my particular asthma is such that when the
    outside temperature gets down to a few degrees above freezing, I start
    to have difficulty breathing. When the temperature is in the teens or
    below (Farenheit), I must wear a scarf over my mouth and nose - if I
    neglect this step, the consequences aren't pretty and I'll spare you the
    details. When I am so bundled up, my normal glasses fog up quite
    easily, often to the point where I can't see. That's why I'm looking
    into Bugz or similar.

    It might be but I am reluctant to even find out. I've been wearing hard
    contact lens for 40 years, see very well with them and most people don't
    even know I wear them. I really, really just want goggles that'll work
    for me walking in the winter.

    Well, you could always just move to Texas. "few degrees above freezing"
    problem solved!

    I have never even visited Texas but especially want to see Austin. I'm
    trying to convince my wife to try a weekend vacation with me there. I'm
    a classical musician by training, like all sorts of music, and hear
    great things about the music scene in Austin.
