EyeClops Night Vision Goggles - if you love me, buy for Xmas

By Zachary Preston

Basically, Jakks EyeClops Night Vision Goggles let you see in total darkness, for 90% less cost than traditional night vision goggles. Typically infrared night vision goggles cost $500 and up, and here you have Jakks offering night vision goggles for $80. At first, I couldn't believe that they would work. Anyway, I ended up buying them for my 10 year old, Aiden. He is having a blast playing with them, and so am I.

When my son first tried on the goggles, he complained that his field of vision was smaller. When I looked on the internet about regular night vision goggles, I learned that night vision has its limitations and will never be as good as regular vision, no matter what.

The craziest thing is that Jakks Eyeclops Night Vision Goggles are $80. Can you believe it? If I hadn't bought from Eyeclops before, I would think that they're junk, but since I was really happy with the previous toy from them, I went ahead and bought them.

In night vision mode, your field of vision is not as wide and not as tall as your typical 180 degree field of vision. I found out that a narrowed field of vision is a necessary limitations of night vision. Again, any night vision device you'd buy would have this small vision field as well.

My kids decided one night to put on their night vision goggles and scare us in the bed after we thought they had gone to sleep. I guess they got me back for messing with them and using their toy when it's really theirs.

Because I was curious about why you only get 1 eye's worth of night vision, I researched and learned that the reason this is so is because if you suddenly need to have regular night vision you can simply flip up the flap over your left eye and not have to wait for your eyes to adjust to the dark to see. If you've been running around with your eyeclops night vision goggles on for over 20 minutes, you'll not be able to see well if you attempt to use your right eye to see in either normal dark or normal light. Man, Jakks company thought of everything!

When using EyeClops Night Vision Glasses, here are some good safety tips I thought of - If you feel dizzy or disoriented, remove the night vision goggles immediately, Don't wear them while operating vehicles or riding bicycles or skateboards, Remember, the Eyeclops Goggles are a toy and are not safety goggles, so don't think they'll protect your eyes, Please never explore dangerous areas, even during the day. Always use your judgment and common sense, Don't try to use the eye clops goggles as a life saving device - they're a toy after all. Check over your surroundings in daylight or with bright lights before you roam in case there's hazards. Make sure you have a fresh set of batteries before using the night vision glasses. Make sure to carry a flashlight and extra batteries in case yours run out. New batteries should last about 4 1/2 hours. Tighten goggles to fit securely so they don't fall off your face, and Be careful when walking with the eyeclops night vision goggles in the dark.

All in all, I'm very pleased with Jakks Eyeclops Night Vision Infrared Stealth Goggles, and I think they'll make a fantastic and fun gift for your kids for Christmas 2008. Check them out, and be confident that your kids will love them and they'll learn a lot by having them. - 16463
