Yes Henry, you can't have the goggs in focus for the instruments and the outside, so prior to flight you set them up for outside (they are used above 500' agl generally) and you would use normal un-aided vision for cockpit duties/scanning instruments etc. Hence the phrase 'looking under the goggles'. Of course it's a matter of seconds to stow the goggles and brighten the cockpit lighting to deal with cautions and drills if so required.
