[pct-l] Eyeglass wearers

[Tortoise]

I don't know how well these would work, but many optometrists have 
disposable roll-up sunglasses they give to patients after the patients' 
eye dilation.

I use a pair of fit-over sunglasses and they worked well for me.
 WalMart has them, many optometrists also sell higher priced and maybe 
better sunglasses.
