Powered Swimming Goggles

• Do prescription swimming goggles exist?

Prescription swim goggles are swimming goggles that correct for refractive errors such as nearsightedness (myopia), farsightedness (hyperopia) or astigmatism while you swim. You can buy premade or custom prescription goggles for swimming.

• How do I choose power for swimming goggles?

Most swimming goggles come in 0.50 steps so you may have to select the nearest power. You need to know the power and sign (+ve or -ve) of both parts of the prescription. Here are some examples: -3.00/-1.00×90 – the best power would be -3.50 (-3.00 plus half of -1.00 so -3.00 plus -0.50)
