I speak from experience: it is no trifling evil which may be cured in a week.” (Photo: Wikimedia/Julius Jääskeläinen) In his book ‘Voyage of the Beagle’ (1839) he wrote – “If a person suffer much from sea-sickness, let him weigh it heavily in the balance. Motion sickness in history Charles Darwin suffered from terrible motion sickness on his voyage to the Galapagos Islands. In all of these situations motion sickness glasses could have been a god send. As for boats and ferries, even I am forced to admit, that there have been some occasions when I have stepped off a ferry after a rough crossing and have felt as if the world around me is still moving. I am however afflicted with a family who cannot go near a plane, car, train or bus without all the rigmarole of finding seats facing the front, sitting above a wheel, taking anti-sickness medication, or wearing special wrist bands, none of which it has to be said, seems to make any difference to their problem with motion sickness. Bonine has the least side effects for me.Personally, I am very thankful that I seem to be one of the 5% of people who do not suffer in any way from the affliction of travel sickness. If you have only experienced seasickness during the day when out of sight of land, the glasses might work, and would be worth a try to prevent taking a medication. I try to never have the sea sickness come on, and I've endured seas that I've never expected to make it through without seasickness, and have even been able to eat. I take 2 per day unless the seas get higher than that, and I take an extra one. If the Captain indicates that the seas are expected to be 6 to 10 feet or higher, I take a Bonine. I bring a supply of 2 per day for the length of the cruise. I started relying on Bonine on our own boat when I expected rough seas, and I do that now on our cruises.

And once it starts, it's hard to recover from. That makes me think that glasses would not totally prevent my sea sickness. This happened a number of times on our own boat over the years before we ever started taking cruises, and once on a small ship cruise to the Caribbean.

While having a stable horizon to look at does tend to lessen seasickness for me, I've awakened with sea sickness during the night. The eye has then access to the reality of the moves, the sensorial conflict instantly disappears and motion sickness fades in a few minutes." It creates an artificial horizon in the peripheral field of view, without disturbing the central vision. In response to the accelerations of the vehicle, the liquid moves around the eyes in the frontal direction (right-left) and in the sagittal direction (front-back). This is a crisis situation for the brain, that can trigger the most severe symptoms.īoarding Ring developed an innovative and smart solution : the patented medical device Boarding Glasses is filled with a blue liquid. In the cabin of a boat, or on the back seat of a car, the eye can't see the moves felt by the balance. It is caused by a mismatch between the visual information and the balance system's perceptions. "Motion sickness affects up to 66% of the passengers depending on the vehicle.

The best description I can find is on the original website for these glasses (these are the patented ones - likely not what is being sold cheaply on Amazon, etc.) I wonder what the theory is behind these glasses.
