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. 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.
