On the other hand, a UK chandlery has them on sale for £59.95, or around $75. The only available boarding ring anti-sea sickness glasses currently available on Amazon are $182.64 and appear to be sourced from Japan. It is said that they only need to be worn for a few minutes before any symptoms of motion sickness will disappear. Clinical tests, carried out with the French Navy, have shown them to be 95% effective, surpassing most other seasickness remedies.

From my own experience, I am fairly lucky, falling somewhere about the middle of the misery spectrum - neither quite immune nor wholly incapacitated by sea sickness. Apparently, Darwin was very prone to sea sickness. Charles Darwin once wrote, “If it was not for sea-sickness, the whole world would be sailors.” Some of us are more susceptible to mal de mer than others.
