Prescription mask for smaller face

[Gowanus Diver]

My wife (occasional snorkeler) has always struggled with masks. We recently used a rented TUSA Kleio II mask that fit her quite well. No leak, no pressure, no fog. It's apparently designed for smaller faces. Anyway, she loved it. I think she'll be more excited to go out if I can replicate that experience.

Unfortunately, the Kleio II is not available in a prescription, and she'd like that possibility. So, we turn to SB! Any suggestions on masks that work well for smaller faces AND allow easy prescription lenses?

You might try Tusa Ceos. It is not the best fit for me but does not leak. I would certainly use it to snorkel. I have to buy masks to fit smaller faces. And you can get prescription lenses for it.

Tusa Ceos is a newish mask and is quite common - has a good reputation. See if you can find someone who has one so that you can try it out in the pool/sea first to check the fit before the added expense of prescription lenses.

Custom Prescription Dive Masks will add custom lenses to any* mask. If they don't stock it, you can send it to them. I've done this with my last 2 masks.

* any mask that has a flat, tempered glass lens. Also some prescriptions don't work well with really high or really low volume masks. Call them with your prescription handy and they'll tell you if it will work.

Will they do them on frameless masks?

Yes. Just find a mask that works for you and send a brand new one to Presciption Dive Masks. I've had them make a few of them for me now. Excellent results.
