No more tears when chopping onions with these Onion Goggles! When onions are cut, an enzyme called sulfoxide lyase and sulfuric compounds are released from the broken cells. When exposed to air, they react with one another to form a vapour called thiopropanal sulfoxide. As this vapour evaporates, it irritates our eyes and causes us to cry. Kitchen folklore remedies such as burning candles or matches, slicing onions under water and freezing the onions before cutting are comical at best. One of the methods proven most effective in preventing onion-cutting tears are wearing goggles! Ideal for chopping, mincing, dicing and slicing. The comfortable foam seal protects eyes from irritating onion vapours. The anti-fog lenses offer maximum clarity and eye protection. Unisex design fits most face shapes, but will not fit over glasses. Storage case keeps goggles clean. These are not designed for use as safety glasses nor do they have corrective lenses.
