Swimming and snorkelling

Swimming pools can be a daunting place to be if you cannot see very well without your glasses on.

Prescription swimming goggles are a very easy answer to this and our best-sphere selection start from £35.00 a pair, making them an affordable solution even for children. They come in a variety of colours and two different sizes- adult and junior. No need to have an eye test just bring in your latest prescription and we can take it from there, or you can purchase the adult model online here.

If you have a large amount of astigmatism the basic goggles may not be adequate we can make bespoke swimming goggles to include your astigmatism correction, up to +/- 6.00 DC. These are a fully bespoke product and as such our Dispensing Opticians must take full measurements in person, so please call us on 01273 843946 to arrange an appointment should you wish to view this range of swimming goggle. Prices start from £120.00 for the iRx range.

Swim with confidence and stay safe with our prescription goggles.

NB It is not advisable to swim with contact lenses as this significantly increases the risk of getting a serious eye infection so contact lens wearers should consider have prescription goggles.

Prescription diving masks are more affordable than you think- and why would you fly to somewhere amazing to see the beautiful wildlife under the sea and risk missing the details because of not remembering to order a prescription diving mask. All prescriptions can be catered for and if you need reading glasses then you might need a bifocal mask prescription so you can read equipment such as your oxygen tank levels while under water.

If you have an up to date spectacle prescription then all you need to do is arrange an appointment with one of our expert dispensing opticians and we can take it from there. Please call us on 01273 843946 to arrange.
