Dive Into Clarity: Discover Prescription Swimming Goggles

According to figures released by the College of Optometrists, approximately 70% of the UK population wears spectacles to correct vision. For the swimmers out there fortunately there is a solution, prescription swimming goggles.

Why are Swimming Goggles so Important?

Swimming goggles are a familiar sight at pools and at the beach and they provide a practical solution to problems associated with vision whilst swimming. Human beings are not naturally aquatic creatures so when we open our eyes when submerged in the water our vision is blurred. Also, irritation to the eyes from chemicals used to treat water in the pool as well as the threat of infection can be alleviated if not eliminated by wearing swimming goggles.

Swimming goggles are available with lenses of differing powers to suit each eye if required and they are available for correcting both long and short-sighted vision. The goggles are comfortable and stylish, and the lenses are treated with an anti-fog coating as well as providing UV protection.

Nicola will calculate the optimal prescription for the goggles, and we have examples of the goggles available in practice to view. Even if your prescription is complex this can usually be achieved.
