Nuclear flash goggles?[edit]

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?[edit]

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)[reply]

Motocross goggles?[edit]

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)[reply]

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.
