Nuclear flash goggles?

   I seem to recall that goggles have been made with lenses that become opaque in a small fraction of a second if a nuclear weapon goes off near enuf to the wearer. You can't blink fast enuf (nor for that matter are your eyelids opaque enuf) to protect you, but some nearly transparent photosensitive compound embedded in the lenses decomposes into something opaque when the first flash flash first arrives, fast enuf that your retinal cells don't have time to absorb enuf energy to be seriously damaged and the remainder of the flash is blocked. Presumably you count to some number before removing them.

Derivation of word?

From whence comes the word 'goggle'? It was a verb meaning 'stare' (wide-eyed) for some time. Is this its source? 121.44.139.56 (talk) 21:23, 5 January 2015 (UTC)

Motocross goggles?

I'd like to add more to the motorcycle goggles section so that it includes motocross goggles, which have slightly different functions to regular goggles - tinted lenses for light conditions, high quality foam rims, accessories such tear-off goggles for quick cleaning while racing etc.

The link to beer goggles in the See also section seems inappropriate as that article does not deal with goggles but with altered perception when drunk. BitSwim (talk) 17:20, 17 January 2018 (UTC) BitSwim (talk) 17:20, 17 January 2018 (UTC)

Not done: Beer goggles are not, it is true, protective eyewear but it fits with the Manual of Style for these links: The links in the "See also" section might be only indirectly related to the topic of the article because one purpose of "See also" links is to enable readers to explore tangentially related topics.

 Not done, these don't seem easily confused. --Belbury (talk) 14:37, 22 June 2024 (UTC)

A study done by Rejman Marek called Goggle-free swimming as autonomous water competence from the perspective of breath control on execution of a given distance. The study explored adolescents’ ability to maintain breathing rhythm while swimming with and without goggles, emphasizing water competence over stroke techniques. Results showed that the absence of goggles negatively impacted breath control for both genders, with boys struggling more to swim effectively and safely. The study recommends incorporating goggle-free swimming into elementary education, focusing on simple forms of swimming for breath control training, and accounting for gender differences in visual perception and motor control during instruction.

Use for Tornadoes

These have been recommended for use in encounters with tornadoes to protect eyes from the shrapnel generated when a tornado is on the ground. Can someone place this? Seen this on a sister site called WikiHow in the readers commentary on How to survive a Tornado. Should know, I just survived a tornado encounter. ~2026-16963-29 (talk) 07:12, 23 April 2026 (UTC)

No, as neither you nor WikiHow are Wikipedia:Reliable sources. WikiHow falls under Wikipedia:Reliable sources#Self-published sources (online and paper) (user generated content). As for yourself. How many people have lived through a tornado while wearing goggles as opposed to not wearing them? What studies were done about this? Can you provide some reliable sources that say they are "recommended for use in encounters with tornadoes to protect eyes"?
