On the other hand, if I am really seasick, I really do not care what I look like.
#Seetrean motion sickness glasses manual
The manual says that there are neither side-effects nor contra-indications to the person who wears seasickness glasses but laughter onboard would be appreciated as harmless side-effect for the other crew members. One review comments: I am sure that only one pair of those glasses would be enough onboard because they look so funny that other teammates would forget about seasickness as soon as they look at the person who wears them. On the other hand, a UK chandlery has them on sale for £59.95, or around $75. The only available boarding ring anti-sea sickness glasses currently available on Amazon are $182.64 and appear to be sourced from Japan. It is said that they only need to be worn for a few minutes before any symptoms of motion sickness will disappear. Clinical tests, carried out with the French Navy, have shown them to be 95% effective, surpassing most other seasickness remedies. Boarding ring glasses create its own virtual horizon which agrees with what your inner ear is experiencing, thus stopping the sea sickness. Sea sickness is generally caused by a conflict between the motion sensed by the inner ear and what is being seen through your eyes. One of the most effective type of glasses is the so-called “boarding ring” glasses. The other consideration is that the most effective googles simply look funny. Perhaps, we should consider anti-sea sickness googles and glasses.Īnti-sea sickness googles and glasses have been around for almost a decade, yet they haven’t seemed to have caught on. I wonder, however, if I am being too old-school in my approach. Often the best defense against motion sickness is just keeping an eye on the horizon. In a few weeks, I will be setting off an a five day delivery trip on my new/old boat with a new crew, so I will be sure that we have all the standard anti-sea-sickness “remedies” - a stock of saltine crackers, apples, ginger-ale and, if need be, Bonine. From my own experience, I am fairly lucky, falling somewhere about the middle of the misery spectrum - neither quite immune nor wholly incapacitated by sea sickness. Apparently, Darwin was very prone to sea sickness. The other 5 percent? Guess you need to bring a sick bag.Charles Darwin once wrote, “If it was not for sea-sickness, the whole world would be sailors.” Some of us are more susceptible to mal de mer than others. It’s unfortunate that these spectacles make people look so silly. If only they had focused more on style.Ĭitroën say that this approach should cover about 95 percent of the population.
This could help them to function better when in cars and boats and such. Sure, they look silly, but motion sickness is a serious thing for many people. Apparently, it takes about 10 to 12 minutes for most users’ brains to cooperate. And you don’t even need to wear the Seetroën glasses for your entire entire trip.
Here’s how they supposedly work: They use four liquid-filled rings that simulate an artificial horizon so that the motions of the blue-dyed liquids seen by the wearer’s eyes match what their inner ear is detecting. Then you can remove them until your next trip or keep them on because you just can’t get enough ridicule. Apparently, they can eliminate motion sickness while riding in a vehicle. French car maker Citroën is currently working on special glasses designed to help reduce motion sickness for passengers.
