LED growers eye protection?

My right eye ball feels like it spent the night in a bag O glass! I tried sunglasses but can't see small details under the red lights, what do you guys do to protect your eyes? I also have a pair of green safety glasses I'm told do the trick but the jury is still on the fence...
 
I wear LED glasses...am at work so can't see my brand. They were about 90 bucks and cheaply made but do the trick. A nasty light for the eyeballs indeed.
the glasses allow you to see "relatively" natural light but nothing compares to natural light period. There IS a color switch with the glasses for LEDs in that viewing your pistils under glasses they look brown and curled in..natural light not so...not as brown or red brown. If I can remember I will find the brand when I get home
 
I usually don't wear any cause the light is lower than my eye vision usually. I'm sure I'm still hurting my eyes however looking directly at the led is a Nono regardless. More research needed for sure
 
Don't look directly at them. I also have a T5 fixture in tent and I usually turn off the LED's and turn on the T5 when doing any work.
 
Yeah I think I remember catching the light by mistake while turning my head...another feeding turned army crawl...turning off the leds while feeding isn't a bad idea...Tika I'd love to hear back from you on the brand, thanks friends!
 
I use a set of Ski Goggles :D ...wait hear me out.....
I wear glasses anyway so the Ski Goggles fit right over them perfectly.
They drop the light levels within acceptable levels as well as filter out UV, which my LED's do kick out.
I had the Ski Goggles already from a ski trip I went on once, I think I paid £40 for them but can't be sure.
They seal around my face fully letting no light in at the sides and I find it amusing. :rolleyes:

My eyes are much happier with the Goggles especially after coming out of the ten than the times I went in the tent without any eye protection.

The Goggles do alter the light though, making it hard to judge colours under the LED's so they aren't as good as the Method 7's which compensate for the light levels and light spectrum making it much easier to judge the plants health.

I should have asked for a pair the the Method 7 clip-on's for Christmas, or another ski trip.
 
Lost the continuity here but eye wear for LEDs that I am using are Method Seven/ operator. Made in Italy ( my ass on that)
 
Yeah the boyz were having fun, I do wanna see those dance moves and the ski goggle pic! I'll check out the method 7 goggles, maybe strike a deal with santa? Thanks tika for keeping this thread grounded💨💨💨
 
The color under LECs is beautiful! I think that's one of the things that I like about them the most! You can really see the plants to spot problems, and they also help take great natural-looking pictures! But LECs do give off UV rays like the sun, which is great for your plants and THC levels but terrible for your eyes. Luckily any UV-protecting sunglasses should do the trick!
 
That might be the case but my light has not effected my eyes at all out at least no pain.....I can tell when I'm under it too long it burns me...
