PRESCRIPTION SWIM GOGGLES
Does your swimmer wear glasses? You may want to consider prescription swim goggles. They are remarkably inexpensive, starting at only $7.55 (plus S&H) and can make a world of difference for a swimmer. Swimmers will be able to see the coaches, the clock, other teammates, spectators, and of course, you!
One website that offers information and guidance, as well as many styles of inexpensive prescription goggles, is swimoutlet.com.
Here is how to order them:
- Obtain the eye prescription strength from your doctor
- Visit this "How to Choose Prescription Swim Goggles" guide at swimoutlet.com
- Shop for the goggle brand, style, color, etc. that the swimmer prefers at swimoutlet.com
- Verify the availability of the swimmer's prescription. Some styles only come in certain prescriptions, so be sure to shop a few styles. (Note: If the exact prescription strength is not available, then choose the next WEAKEST strength. For example: If 2.25 is needed, then choose 2.00; if -4.75 is needed, then choose -4.50.
- Tip: If each eye has a different prescription, consider ordering 2 pairs of the same style goggles, one of each prescription. Since the eye-cups are interchangeable for most styles, they can be separated and mixed, i.e. one eye-cup of each prescription can be connected together. Plus, you end up with a spare pair of the exact same prescription!!
