I did my first OWS last weekend and had a few problems with the sighting. Going through the motions of it wasn't so bad but when I had my head up I really couldn't see much. I'm considering getting some bigger, 180 degree view goggles like these: http://www.aquasphereswim.com/us/products/sealxp_clr_transblu.html
Anybody have any experience with these? Also I get headaches if I swim too long and I'm hoping these will help with that also.
I wear the Kaimen aquasphere goggles and have had a lot of success with them. I sell a lot of the Seal XP's and people are really happy with them. The are larger than the kaimen and larger than the standard goggle.....but not absolutely huge. They seem to be a good option for people who have similiar issues as you.

Since I live in Japan it is easier to get a brand from Australia so I didn't get aquaspheres but essentially the same kind of goggle. The difference in visibility was amazing. A huge difference. I'd recommend them.
The Aqua Sphere Goggles are the best. I switched over this year and love them. They don't leak, are comfortable, and the best tri goggles on the market.
I would highly recommend them.
