If you don’t prefer wearing contact lenses while snorkelling and diving, you can always invest in a prescription dive mask instead. Some of these masks are specifically made to cater to those with poor vision, but there are also available regular dive and snorkel masks that can have the regular lenses replaced with prescription or optical lenses.
Without exception, these are two-window design masks.
People who need corrective lenses for snorkelling and diving can find options for nearsighted and farsighted vision. These lenses come in a range of strengths, from -1.5 to -8.0 and +1.0 to +4.5 in 0.5 increments. Higher-end models can come fitted with lenses specifically tailored to each eye, and some masks come with factory-installed lenses.
We recommend the Cressi Big Eyes Evolution, TUSA Ceos Freedom, and TUSA Paragon Mask , as these masks are adjustable with optical lenses of different prescriptions. Contact our friendly team for help.
Before you buy a mask with prescription lenses, speak to your optometrist first to determine the best type of correction for you.
