Subject: RE: Optical swim goggles jsnowash - 2010-11-18 6:27 AM If you have a pretty standard prescription, you can get optical swim goggles "over the counter" now. You can find them on-line from lots of sellers... FWIW, I have astigmatism, but purchased a standard pair of optical swim goggles, and they work fine for me for swimming, both in the pool and in open water. I got a pair from swimoutlet.com for < $20.... x2. I have 3 or 4 pairs - some dark for outdoor swims and a pair of clear for indoor. I've gotten them several places, just asking for a specific diopter correction. Even though I have astigmatism and the one eye is a little worse than the other, the same correction is good enough for both eyes to see where I am going and even read the clock on the wall. There are some that you can get different lenses in each side if your eyes are too different for the same correction. If you don't know what diopter to get, either ask your optomitrist, or if you live near a dive shop, try the diopter corrected lenses they will have for dive masks. |
