People say hy-vee in Ames has them, maybe other hy-vees do as well? Sunglasses aren't enough.

but what if you stack like 3 pairs on your face

I've gotten a good 35+ yrs of use from my eyes and they were perfect last spring. I've got some diopters to burn.

Cyclone only cruise to the Caribbean in 2045? I should be retired by then.

Hy-Vee in Altoona has the glasses at the service counter, 2/$3. Other Hy-Vee's may have them also.

You only need 2 if you get polarized ones. Just line up the polarization correctly. Should be safe.

Hy vee possibly. They had them in mason city before I left

Found some at the Johnston library. Seems like public libraries are a good spot to try per Google.
