In May, a pet parent who had previously visited our showroom returned today with her Boston Terrier, Janggun. She mentioned during a recent pet expo that the goggle lens seemed to touch his eye and asked if there was a solution.
Boston Terrier Janggun – A Corneal Ulcer Dog Case

When she first visited our showroom, we had carefully fitted the goggles to ensure they didn’t touch Janggun’s eyes. So we were surprised to hear about this issue. We recommended another visit for a fitting check—and today, they came back.
Boston Terrier, Eye Injury Close to Enucleation
Janggun, a brachycephalic breed, has naturally protruding eyes. The owner shared that he had recently injured one eye and was nearly at risk of enucleation (eye removal). Seeing him in person, it was clear the eye was in bad shape, and even slight contact could be dangerous. We proceeded with an extra cautious fitting session.
Kyunglas Goggles Custom Fit – Preventing Eye Injury
Although the goggles technically fit, the owner was still worried they might shift and touch his eye during sudden movements or running. We first loosened the strap on the injured side to create space, then added extra face foam as a protective buffer.
One of the standout features of Kyunglas is its 7-point strap adjustment system. Even if a dog has an asymmetrical face or unusual facial structure, this system allows precise adjustment at seven separate points. This made it possible to find the perfect fit for Janggun’s unique face and keep a safe distance between his eye and the lens.
Because of the structure of brachycephalic breeds, simply raising the foam isn’t enough. We needed to secure the goggle on the nose bridge without letting it slide, while keeping enough clearance from the eye. Through delicate adjustments, we finally found the optimal position—something only possible thanks to the flexibility of Kyunglas’ design.
Eventually, we secured a fit where the lens no longer touched Janggun’s eye, and both the owner and we felt relieved.
Brachycephalic Breeds and Corneal Ulcer Prevention – How Goggles Help
Boston Terriers, Shih Tzus, and Pugs are brachycephalic dogs with eyes that protrude. During everyday walks or play, their eyes are easily exposed to branches, leaves, and dust. In cases like Janggun’s—with a history of corneal ulcer or post-surgery recovery—goggles serve not just as an accessory, but as a protective medical aid.
- Shield from physical trauma (branches, pebbles, claws, etc.)
- Protection from wind, dust, and UV rays
- Reduced infection risk during healing
For a corneal ulcer dog, a goggle like Kyunglas is essential to ensure comfort and long-term eye safety.
A Note to Janggun
Janggun, with your limited vision, it’s easy to bump into things. We’re grateful that Kyunglas could take the hit instead and keep your eyes safe. Your guardian sighed in relief, saying, “I feel so much safer with these goggles.”
Janggun, we’ll keep your eyes safe from now on. Just stay healthy and keep being our brave boy.
