“Otoliths, which are in the inner ear, help you feel acceleration. He’s a doctor (an ophthalmologist, as it happens), so he wasted no time in explaining to me how these glasses worked: “Proprioception is how you know where your limbs are even if your eyes are closed,” he says. I expected to shock my boyfriend (who often has to deal with pulling over so I can get some fresh air) with my hot new glasses, but he was not the least bit surprised. I will say, as a glasses-wearer, these didn’t fit amazingly well over my prescription frames, but if you wear contacts or have perfect vision, then these are an easy-peasy way to help your motion sickness.
During a recent hour-long trip, I wore these and… felt fine! It was incredible - I aimlessly scrolled through Instagram, and even *gasp* checked my inbox without feeling like I was about to vom. (When I drive, motion sickness is not an issue whatsoever – I think this has to do with being in control of the vehicle and knowing when it’s going to start and stop.) While short rides (under 15 minutes) usually are fine, anything longer usually results in me not feeling my best. Nothing about them felt luxe, but throwing caution to the wind, I popped them on the next time I was in the car with my boyfriend. They were made from a semi-rigid yet pliable plastic, and needed some molding to achieve the proper shape since they got a little warped en route. They were on the small side, so anyone with a wider face may need to look for a larger version. The motion sickness glasses arrived in a small box along with a zip-carrying pouch, which honestly was a nice touch.
