I do indea and LOVE them!!!
Work great - with portable or tank or concentrator.
You can take them to your eye doc and get prescriptions is you have glasses. I do't - the only thingid did is get a pair of clip on sun glasses.

what are oxyview glasses?

deleted_user 07/22/2009

Instead of wearing the cannula across your face it comes up from behind your head attaching to the ear pieces of the eyeglasses down to the nose piece then into the nostrils....Is this correct AZgram?? Gosh I would love to get them one day....lol....a real funky crazy pair...lol Why not right? Winks....

oxyview.com
The tubing runs thru the frame of the glasses to the back. Then connects to the oxygen supply.
The oxygen is delivered to you through discret tubes that run along your nose and hook in. VERY comfortable.

Well, I didn't even try - It was something I wanted to help me through this awful disease and I got them. There is a Number you can call on the website and they would absolutely have the answer.

Where do you get these and about how much do they cost. My insurance doesn't pay for anything but what is necessary. Personally, I don't like my glasses either. Still getting used to those and its's only been 40 years. This getting old is hell for me.

deleted_user 07/25/2009

Oh............I hate getting old too but beats the alternative???...........LOL,

Are you so sure that this oxygen trip with all the problems involved is really any better then the alternative.?? I figure the worse it could be is lights out, and that isn't so bad.
