I know this is probably like finding a needle in a haystack. I had PRK done and I have a almost brand new set of Hilco scrip goggles(used maybe 15 times). One side is -450 other -350. Make an offer if these might work for you. Keep in mind that they don't need to be exact to your eyes since you will see diferently in the water, but they might make life easier for you at the start line if you can see!!!!

Curious, I just did a google on these, and it says that the prescription lenses are interchangeable unlike regular prescription swimming goggles. Can you confirm this.

Yes, they are.The whole thing lens is a molded plastic lens that looks exactly like a normal swimming goggle. The straps, seals and nose piece are replaceable as well. I don't believe they make them to an exact scrip like regular glasses and they do not have any way to compensate for astigmatism. I got them since I simply could not tolerate contact lenses and I really did not care for the "blind" swim portion of the triathlon!! I have no idea what they cost as I used my vision insurance to get them. I just hope someone can use them........
