7Eye AirShields, also known as Panoptx, are a longtime staple of the severe dry eye world to control symptoms, keep comfortable and maintain an active lifestyle. 

The claim-to-fame of AirShield frames is the removable deep foam eye cup, which fills the gap between the frame and your face. 

The shield has a threefold benefit for people with dry eye: 

  1. Keeping out wind, drafts and dust/particles.
  2. Raising humidity in the space around the eyes.
  3. Blocking peripheral light (useful for people who have severe light sensitivity).

Outdoors, AirShields are invaluable for keeping comfortable, whether your issue is wind sensitivity, light sensitivity or both. The right well-fitting sealed eyewear can make all the difference to being able to continue doing the things you love to do.

Indoors, many people with severe symptoms also use AirShields (or, if not, then Ziena Eyewear, incidentally made by the same company) for the humidity factor, especially for computer use.

What's different about Viento

First, it's the smallest in the series, making it a popular framestyle for women (along with the roomier Briza). Second, unlike some of the other frames in this series, it does not have the bendable arms. 

Alternative products to consider

WileyX Climate Control series follows the same concept of a removable foam seal. Their foam eye cups are differently constructed, and for some frames they have two different thicknesses available for the gasket. The smallest WileyX frame is the AirRage.

Benefits

  • Fits Small - Medium Faces (smallest frame)
  • AirShield® Wind Blocking Foam Eyecup 
  • Straight Back Temples
  • 100% UVA+UVB Sun Protection
  • Shatter Resistant Lens

Frame Size

Fits Small to Medium

To find the right size and fit, it is important to consider the curvature of your eyebrow bone & cheek bone. The various facial anatomies are the main factors to be considered on how the eyecup will work to offer a complete seal around the orbit of your eyes. Traditional sizing or fitting of a fashion frame does not necessarily pertain.

Good enough

These glasses do not sit perfectly on my small, flat face, the frame's curve results in an air gap across my nose area. The glasses come with a stretchy 'Croakie' to attach to the stems, which make these glasses comfortable and secure on my face. I wear the glasses while outside walking or gardening to keep wind, dirt and debris out of my eyes. It resembles sporty protective gear.

Unsure!

I thought these would get much dark outside in the sun as they actually do per the photo on website. I do like the way they fit snug around eyes. I am a smaller person, other brands I've used were loose.

Pretty but poor fit

I was very disappointed the sunglasses did not fit my normal but small face at all. The nosepiece did not sit on my nose and there were gaps all the way around where the padding was supposed to limit air flow. I was sad because they were really attractive sunglasses, best ive seen. Unfortunately i had to return them.

Hi there,
Thank you for the review. Sorry the glasses didn't fit. The options are very limited when it comes to small sizes for glasses in this category. The WileyX Air Rage is the smallest I know of.
Kind regards
Rebecca

Quality good. Fit not so much.

I like the look of the glasses. I bought for a small face because I have a small face but they do not fit great. The top of eyes are not well shielded. But the glasses fit nice and snug on the sides and bottom. Unfortunately the foam leaves black marks on my face. Hopefully that will fade with time.
