My mask has a fairly strong prescription built in. I find it best while suiting up to put the mask on when I take the glasses off. I leave the mask on throughout checks, entry, dive, exit. On shore dives I take it off when I'm back at the vehicle and can put on my glasses. The mask fits and I don't find it uncomfortable to wear for an hour or more. I do get a lot of questions from others who don't know me but after explaining the situation it makes sense to them.This analogy avoids the question of where to put one's mask by encouraging divers to wear their masks for the entire duration of their dives--from splash to feet dry. If it's uncomfortable, find a mask that fits or learn to adjust the one you have. If it's fogging up, learn to clean and treat it properly. If you need to take it off to rinse it or to re-apply de-fogger, keep it in your hands until you've done so and then put it back on your face.
