I am a combat medic in an MP company in the Guard. I have no clue how much room clearing we will be doing. No, I do not have to wear sunglasses for a medical problem, I just am used to my creature comforts I guess. There are medical issues that can occur from being in an area that is too bright for too long without proper eye protection, but I think that would apply more to the open deserts of Iraq than to the mountains of Afghanistan. I have not been there yet so please correct me if I am wrong. I do think that if we are doing any sort of urban stuff I will just stick with clear lenses for simplicity's sake, but I am going to look into the flip ups for FOB wear if I can figure out a way to get by with it in 670-1. If not I will defiantly look into the other ones Papa Zero Three mentioned. I have thought about corrective surgery, but I am not AD right now so I think that is going to have to wait a few years until I finish up all my school stuff and go AD. if anyone knows of a way to get the surgery done while a Guardsman is on AD orders that would be awesome, but I think that is not an option due to "budget concerns". Thank you guys for your time and assistance.
