I sometimes find myself being severely dazzled when at the dentist on the chair, because the lamp that they use to light up your mouth also spills over into your eyes. Apparently they don't have enough fine control to shine only on the mouth area.
When I complain to my dentist, he gives me a sleeping
mask to cover my eyes. Unfortunately it's "lights out" completely and being in the dark while they're working on you is somehow even more nerve-wracking that when you can see all the scary tools.
My solution to this is to give the patient polarised glasses (like IMax-3D glasses) and have a cross-polarized filter sheet over the lamp, so that you cut out the lamp light quite effectively, but continue to see the normal office illumination from the room's flourescent lights etc.

This would work, except you would be halving the light output from his very powerful lights... |

Your dentist is rubbish. At least at aiming lights. They most certainly do have enough fine control to just shine into the mouth, believe me. |

My dentist uses darkly tinted safety glasses. |

Even when they're working on you [xandram]? Sounds pretty dangerous. |

And that, my friend, is why you have such an interesting love life. |

Ouch? That was supposed to be a compliment! |

To you rising above me in complimenting [xandram]. |
