PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The BALI model belongs 7EYE's SPF100 series. The AirLock™ design follows every contour of the face to create a seal around the eyes. This seal forms a chamber that maximizes the therapeutic benefits of eye drops by trapping moisture and keeping wind and common airborne irritants away from the eyes. The AirLock™ foam padding is attached to a removable eyecup so the Bali can easily be converted to a normal pair of sunglasses.
FACE YOUR FRAMES
The Bali frame fits small to large sized faces and is popular with men and women. It's similar to the Whirlwind in styling but is slightly smaller.
We encourage customers to shop locally if possible, because it is important to get a frame that fits you well. If you can't, we take returns, subject to a $15 restocking fee. Some customers without access to local dealers have us ship them 2-3 pairs and return whatever doesn't fit. Be assured we'll do our best to help you find eyewear that fits you properly.
We only stock the most popular frame/lens combinations, but would be happy to special-order anything you need - just give us a call.
To find a local 7EYE dealer, go to www.7eye.com and click on "Find a dealer".
OPTIMAL OPTICS
7EYE offers ten different lens options for this frame. We have limited our stock to those that seem to be most useful for people with dry eye. If these do not meet your needs, we would be happy to special-order a different type of lens for you. Call for details.
SHARPVIEW COPPER ($125): An optically correct, tapered, decentred and anti-fog treated Polycarbonate lens. This is the darkest lens available.
24/7 ($199): Made from shatterproof PureTec in NXT®, these light-sensitive lenses darken in bright sun and lighten in low light.
PRESCRIPTIONS?
Prescription lenses are also available through your local dealer.
REBECCA'S REVIEW
NOTE: This is among styles we are discontinuing due to lack of demand.
7EYE/Panoptx are, in my opinion, one of the most important investments all dry eye patients should make for themselves if at all possible. Developed for the skier and biker markets, these sunglasses are ideally suited for protecting our eyes in a number of ways:
First, the vented foam seals create a moist micro-environment around the eyes. Second, the eyecup and foam prevent wind, or, if indoors, air circulated by fans, a/c or heating vents from moving across the corneas and irritating an already sensitive dry surface. Third, for those patients who suffer from light sensitivity, the eyecup and foam lining fill the gap between the frame and the face so that light and glare cannot enter peripherally.
I cannot overstate the utility of this kind of eyewear. The more severe your dry eye condition, no matter what the cause or nature, the more likely you are to benefit. For some with mild to moderate dry eye, 7EYE/Paanoptx may be simply something they wear outdoors in the wind. For others who are nearly disabled by dry eye pain, wearing these glasses indoors may make the difference between being employable and not, particularly for those whose job requires heavy computer usage or exposes them to eye-unfriendly environments.
If you can't afford 7EYE, there are some other comparable products. We offer some in this store, and there are a few other obscure ones on the market. If you need any help finding something suitable, please don't hesitate to call us.
Note that the light-adjusting (24/7) lens is great for indoor use but does not get all that dark outdoors, so the darker lens is a better choice for someone with severe light sensitivity.
TIP: The best place to shop for this kind of eyewear is your nearest Harley Davidson dealership's sports optical section. I recommend calling first and asking them specifically about the models listed in our shop because those are the models with the foam eyecup that is so helpful for dry eye. They usually stock Wiley-X and Harley also has some foam-lined ones of their own.
