I have progressive trifocal glasses so I'm not sure if there's a suitable contact lens for me. I will check the local store and see what they say about it. Great idea tho.
 
Does anyone have an opinion on the masks with user replaceable lenses?
I have the Scubapro D-mask with their bi-focus lenses (+3.0) and love it. I need them for gauge reading so magnification at the bottom was all I was looking for. I could never get the Trident stick-on magnifiers to stay, so this mask meets exactly what I needed, albeit a higher price point.

The nicest unknown perk was being able to take the lens itself and use a flame directly on it detached from the mask to burn off the off-gassing. No worry that I would hit the mask silicone by mistake. Certainly not why I bought the mask, but nice nonetheless.

One of the good things about the D mask (they also make a cheaper one) is you can actually buy lenses right from SP, others make masks with removable lenses but don’t sell the lens separately.

I use the full +1.5 on Both sides.
 

Does anyone have an opinion on the masks with user replaceable lenses?
I have both user replaceable and custom. Both work but I have more clear, sharp vision in custom and currently using mostly it. May be it is pupil distance which is taken into account in custom, may be something else
 
I use corrective lens. BUT, because I am at the age of needing both far and up close, the "little" close up items you can put at the bottom the mask suck. It has taken a few years and a few lens, but with my optometrist we have come up with the best solution. I am also an underwater photogarhper and seeing the image in the display is improtant. Best solustion is, one eye far away prescription and the other set for percription about 2-3 feet or a computer desk len. Then install them in a mask with two separate lens. I love this set up.
Reach out to us the next time you want to update your lenses. We have a bifocal option that can take care of your visual needs without having to switch eyes depending on what you are doing. Distance up top and a boost in the reading. It is perfect for your needs.
 
I use a Seavision Ascent with gauge readers and prescription for distance. Excellent quality mask, and they are actually better than my glasses as far as clarity and sharpness. 🤿😊
