You can have prescription goggles made for you but it's super expensive.\n\nThe best bet is to buy an over the glasses (OTG) pair of goggles. My favorite OTG goggles are the Smith Knowledge.\n\nhttp://www.smithsport.com/products/snowgoggle/regulator_knowledgeotg.html\n\nIf you don't like the style of this goggle you can buy Smiths ODS which will snap prescription lenses into most of their goggles.\n\nhttp://www.smithsport.com/products/accessories/goggleaccessories_ods.html

Try ebay, I just found a pair on there, though I think they may be too big. Your best bet may be an antique store or a regular eye place like lenscrafters or something - that way you can try them on and be sure they fit.

Burton is by far the best, but you pay for it. \nSome other good ones are Ride, Salomon, Never Summer(good boards from what I've been hearing)\nYou may want to stay away from actually buying him a board/boots/bindings though. These are things that should be fitted for him and you wouldnt want to buy him something he's just going to take back. Maybe talk with a local board shop and see if they can set you up with a package gift certificate so he can just come in and get fitted and sized for what he needs. \nYou may want to even look into a season rental program from a local shop too until he figures out his style of riding that he wants to do, then he can buy something designed closer to that style. Board lengths/brands/design are a MAJOR factor in this as well as his height/weight and a good fitting boot is just as important.\nOther than that, some good cold weather clothing(preferably waterproof), some goggles too.\nIf he is just starting out,  I HIGHLY recommend a helmet and some wrist guards and knee pads. Helmet in case he falls and smacks his head. But he WILL fall and he WILL fall on his knees and wrists. Don't forget to protect them too. Don't wait for an "I told ya so". I'm a big fan of the Burton/Red impact gloves ($100 pair)with the built in guards and the Burton/Red knee gaskets($100 pair. Although, they are getting harder to find. Pro-tec makes a viable runner up($20-35 pair), but if you can find the burton stuff, it IS worth the money.\nNow that we know rick is a complete BONEHEAD........\nWhy anyone would tell you not to get pads is beyond me. It doesn't take a backflip to hurt yourself. All it takes is to catch one edge at a decent speed. Something a beginner WILL DO. Blown out knees and broken wrists aren't the most common injury among boards b/c they don't. The physics of the matter dont get much clearer. Not to mention it takes some of the pain out of learning (minor bumps and bruises)and puts the fun back into it. Yeah it's snow, but it's best friend is ICE. Which can be hard as concrete at times, especially on a groomed/packed snow base which you'll find on about 90% of the slopes out there. Unless your brother plans to be a strict powder hound, get the pads. And definitly dont listen to knuckleheads like rick that dont put safety and well being first.

An MP3 player is available for swimmers. Its not goggles but attaches to the straps of your goggles. It also has a radio feature.\n\nhttp://www.swimoutlet.com/waterproof_rad...\n\nYou can do a web search. There are several other companies that have waterproof audio players available.

i just build my snowboard box this last weekend. last year i built a 16' x 1' x 4' box and i had used plexiglass and it cracked and warped with the temperature changes, so maybe that isn't the way to go. I'm guessing you should go with treflon or perspex? or id say use the stuff from the hockey rinks which probably rang from 60$-80$. idk if i helped any.

i served in iraq from june 2005 to june 2006 and went through a lot of glasses.  fogging up is the least of your worries...cause theres not much moisture there i never had a problem.   The best glasses i found are ESS (eye safety systems)  you want ballistic glasses/goggles.  your eyes are your most important tool you have.  don't be cheap in buying a pair of safety glasses.  My favorite are googles over there...good side protection and the thickest lenses.  Also pick up some good ear plugs...you may think thats stupid but you'll want them in combat.  I lost alot of my hearing and regret not wearing ear plugs.  take care and good luck.

Vision does not make good boots. You could do a lot better than that. I would suggest going to a snowboard shop and not a big box store like Sports Authority, Big 5 or Sports Chalet. Not only do those retailers only carry discount brands (which are crap) but the sales folks I've talked to at shops like that have no idea what they are talking about. Go to a real snowboard shop and talk to someone who has actually ridden a snowboard and they will be able to help you out. Remember, a boot that fits perfectly in the shop is going to be too big. They should fit very tight in the shop. Brands I like are Burton, Northwave, Salomon, DC and Thirtytwo.

As a former optician I recommend a pair of glasses with an anti-reflective coating.  Even if you don't need glasses to improve your vision, the coating will ease your eye strain and help prevent it from even coming at all.  You can go to a Wal Mart vision center and tell them you need a pair of plano glasses (no prescription) with the anti reflective coating.  You can also wear them at night to help prevent the the lights from blinding you.

snowboard, waterproof pants & jacket tresspass are good, snowboarding boots you can get them in major towns or off the internet, a hat & glasses thats about it.

First if you have access to a Vista Optical there in Fred Meyers. There is a web site that advertises glasses for $19.00 they have a few styles at that price and go up from there but its www.19eyeglasses.com I also have checked out this site that sells them for $38.00 eyeglassdirect.com.  I am not sure if you know you do not have to purchase the actual glasses from the Dr that does the exam its like a prescription for Penicillin you can go to any pharmacy but in this case its  optician to get it filled.

I've been wearing glasses for about seven years now, I'm 18, and honestly I don't give a rats ass about what people think. I think that glasses are becoming in style now and you shouldn't be ashamed of wearing them if you need them. Though, not that I care about what others think, I'm trying to heal my eyesight the natural way, as laser eye surgery is not always a fool proof solution and is so expensive. I am going to use the Bates method to try and heal my eyesight, as I don't like relying on glasses to see, I want to be able to see clearly using my own eyes again. I want to wear sunglasses. I don't want to be restricted to not playing certain sports. For these personal reasons, I don't like wearing glasses, as they are crutches. I recommend you watch a DVD called "Yoga For Your Eyes" by Meir Schneider if you are interested in healing your eyes. Schneider was born legally blind and healed his eyes and is now able to legally drive without glasses. Good luck :)

See your Ophthalmologist. They can prescribe the best drops for your situation. OTC drops are much weaker and need to be used often. Prescription drops are best.
