Snorkling masks that are magnified ?

[Snowcat1]

I wear glasses. Does PG provide prescription masks or masks that are magnified for people who are near sighted?

They don’t. You can easily purchase a mask on Amazon, or at a local dive shop, with prescription lenses. Not much more expensive than a standard mask. You simply put in your correction (such as +2) for the right and left eye. The correction can be different for each eye.

 

Standard masks do magnify in the water but may not “correct” your vision.

You can't get astigmatism correction, but even with my 'high' numbers I found that as long as the myopia was right I could see very well.

Got to be careful .... magnifying mask will make the sharks look larger and their teeth closer 😂

I have poor vision and double vision. I find that I can see very well with a regular mask. I have used a prescription mask but did not see any better than with a regular mask.

I wear my contact lenses and a regular mask and it works great 🙂

I got a prescription mask years ago, and it's done well by me, worth it.

Thanks for all the replies. Will probably just use a regular mask.
