IF YOUR TUMMY TURNS AROUND AND AROUND...
The SwissTech Tempest Sunglasses that combat seasickness, are one of the most innovative seasickness prevention tools on the market today.

The first symptoms of seasickness (perspiration, paleness, nausea) generally arise when the boat begins listing in turbulent seas. One sees the bridge of the boat inclining, and the horizon moving from side to side. This happens perceptually, while the inner ear remains horizontal whatever the movement of the head. These two pieces of information - visual perception and labyrinth perception - enter into conflict without being able to find a resolution. This sensorial conflict is at the origin of seasickness.
The Tempest glasses "trick" the visual perception aspect of this phenomenon to make the inner ear always "see" a level, stable horizon, thus relieving the conflict and keeping nausea from coming on. The glasses come in two sizes, adult and children (sometimes the children's glasses fit comfortably on an adult woman), and clip-ons for those who wear glasses.

The SwissTech-Tempest Glasses that protect against seasickness are now available as "clip-ons". For those of us who have to wear glasses with special, personalized optical measurements, the clip-ons are a best choice. Made of the same durable construction and material as the framed SwissTech-Tempest Glasses, the clip-ons work in the same manner as the regular glasses in stabilizing the horizon and in so doing, prevent seasickness.
