Prescription Lenses

[Standingbear56]

lol....I love it when people talk about being legally blind without their glasses...What you are referring to is very poor vision without them, good vision with them, right??.....(ie blindness is blindness---with or without glasses)


--------just one of my pet peeves--------

Actually, a person can be legally blind and still be able to see. Up to a point, corrective lenses can help with this. My father was legally blind without his glasses for a few years before he became blind in the true sense - first seeing only the difference between light and dark, and finally not being able to see anything. While many people do use the term legally blind incorrectly in place of plain bad eyesight, there really is such a thing. Just an FYI.

I use a Tusa Liberator with pop-out replacement lenses. Came to $100 total, $50 for the mask, and $25 per lens.

One of these days I'll try diving with contacts since I like my Scubapro Marin alot more.

I used a mask with the corrective dioptics for years (-4), with no problems. Just recently got a new Atomic mask with my prescription in it and those lenses are attached to the face plate. No problems with that one either.

I've been using bonded lenses from scuba optix for over 5 years. I'm on my second mask and it has my bi-focal script in it. Expensive but my cafeteria plan insurance at work picked up 3/4 of the cost.
