Product Information

At the very least, they do delay or reduce the tears that typically spring to your eyes when you chop an onion.

Onion goggles look a lot like swim goggles; plus, swim goggles seal very tightly to the face. Thus, I decided to see if swim goggles would work as well as onion goggles... or perhaps better.
