Question about night vision goggles!?
My dad is basically legally blind. He has had the disease since he was a small kid. The disease is progressing fast now and the main time he is blind is at night. It breaks my heart to see the man I love the most suffer and not be able to drive at night, because he can't see. It is hard for him to even go outside when it is dark. He use to be a mechanic, but he got laid off because of his vision,of course they couldn't admit that, but it is pretty much apparent. He has previously tried on some night vision goggles (just for the fun of it), but I think they may have really helped him a little bit just to be able to enjoy going out and seeing something he normally couldn't see. What kind of goggles do you think might would be the best. I really would like to save up any money I can to get him some one day! Thanks for any and all suggestions!!!
Thanks you guys!!

Try these. They are not state of the art or anything and are not the best. You won’t be going out on special ops mission with these, but they are great for just enjoying the dark. Sorry to hear about your dad, my dad has the same issue. Hope he gets work soon! And I hope this helps!

While the goggles will help him see at night, they do not allow you to judge depth accurately. Another issue is that if a bright light suddenly shines into the goggles, it will hurt his vision worse, because it amplifies surrounding light.
It would be a great help for occasional use, but only when someone else is around to make sure he doesn’t run into problems. They are expensive but if you can, check out Amazon.com for inexpensive options with plenty of reviews.
