I tried a search with no luck, and hopefully this doesn't violate Forum rules.  Where can I get perscription swim googles at a reasonable price?  I asked the eye doc, and they kind of fumbled around looking for a catalog.  Trying to solve my T1 vision problem!

There are some that are about $15-20-25 that come in generic prescriptions. My husband uses a Speedo brand and he has a big correction. Look at someplace like swimoutlet.com under optical goggles.

I just ordered a pair of these and they're available in prescription.

At $50 they're expensive swim goggles, but from the research I've done I'm hoping they're pretty good.

www.swimoutlet.com has them for about $20.  Mine fit great.  Just choose your persciption strenth and order.  You can even buy each side separately you you happen to have a different perscription for each eye.

I only wear mine for emergency use, i.e. contact lens issue, but they are comfortable enough to use every day.

I use Aquagoggles.  You can buy the eye cups in different strengths if your eyes are different.

I use both  the Sportia S2 and The Speedo Vanquishe with a -4.5  correction.  both currently on sale at swimoutlet.   I was able to find my bike  after the swim,  but quickly  put  my perscrition suns on.

Thanks everybody!!!  I had no clue there were so many sources.  The bad news is I will lose my slow T1 excuse of I can't find my bike!

Another vote for Aquagoggles for me. I have *very* different prescriptions in each eye, so it was crucial to accommodate that.

+1 on Swimoutlet. 

They have good selection available in a range of  corrections.  For near-sighted people the general recommendation is round DOWN your prescription.  Example- If your correction is -3.25/-3.5, order -3.0 (NOT -4.0).

Not sure if it's an option for you, but I would seriously recommend getting contacts for sports only.  I wear glasses all day at work and at home.  I put contacts in solely for swimming, biking, and running.  It's very affordable, because you're not wearing them all the time.  A one month pair will last you 4-6 months.  I actually have contacts that aren't "ideal" for my prescription and astigmatism, but since I don't need to do a lot of reading during s/b/r, I have no problems at all with the cheaper contacts I went with versus the ones that correct for astigmatism.
