Goggles HELP!

Hi all, it's a little off-topic, but I ma in desperate need of some help.

I wear basketball/squash goggles when playing basketball (and squash ) and need to replace my old ones.

I am after a pair of "Safe-T Eyegard"s made by TEK Optical (a Canadian company). Unfortunately the company in Australia that is the sole distributor of TEK products refuses to carry this model as there is no enough demand.

I have tried other brands, but the advantage of the Eyegards is that they have a very flat front, other models are somewhat curved and due to my very bad eyesight I end up with double vision.

After searching the net, and contacting TEK myself, I haven't been able to find anywhere that sells the frames online. Can anyone help me out here?

Here is a photo of the goggles:



Cheers

Duane Galle

I'd never heard of this company before today. I went to their website, www.tekoptical.com but there's no ordering information. The toll free number (not sure if it's toll free from Australia) is 1-888-565-5854. You have probably already tried emailing them.

I don't know where they would retail in the states. Good luck!

G'day, thanks for your efforts! I have checked out their website, from what I can figure they are a manufacturer and don't sell direct to the public. I have emailed them, but no response so far.....fingers crossed!

I wear these. They shoot darts and help keep those pesky coaches under control.

You're welcome, Duane. BTW - the shooter goggles won't fit on tweed heads. Sorry.
