 OPTICALLY CORRECTED DIVING MASKS.

After fifteen years of  producing thousands of corrected masks  we know that the fit of the mask is very personal. We therefore do not supply the diving masks. Simply select a mask yourself  from your dive shop then send it along to us for your prescription to be fitted

WE PRODUCE THREE DIFFERENT STYLES OF LENS

1:Full bifocal for the diver who needs both distance correction and correction to help read computers and gauges.

2:Reading correction only

3:Distance correction only

 

LENS INFORMATION

All our lenses are made to exact to prescription (exactly as your spectacles) This ensures maximum optical correction and comfort. All aspects of the prescription are covered including all correction for astigmatism. Please note that the ready made lenses supplied from the diving store are nearest GUESS only and do not offer the correction or comfort of our lenses.

All our lenses are bonded to the existing faceplates using state of the art UV curing adhesives and as such the whole lens assembly can effectively be treated as one homogenous item.

It should be noted that our lenses DO NOT cover the whole of the faceplate and the amount of cover will depend on the prescription. Full coverage is not necessary for good vision and in high prescriptions, which result in thick lenses, full coverage lenses will not fit in modern low volume masks without contact with the face

 

MINUS AND PLUS LENSES

We are able to produce in both plus and minus form.

Minus lenses very rarely produce any distortion problems. Plus lenses, < because they have to be fitted to the inside of the mask and hence curve toward the eye, can produce some distortion. This takes the effect of good central vision but increasing peripheral distortion.  The effects of this are fairly nominal up to around a power +4.00. Above this the effects do increase and can give the effect of tunnel vision. Most divers who have this effect explained to them accept and accommodate the distortion. Unfortunately there is no alternative when producing plus lenses. Most divers accept that this solution is much better than having no correction.

 

ORDERING

Decide on the style of lens you require, Normally influenced by the style of spectacle lens you use everyday.

To help your lenses work as effectively as possible we need a small amount of fitting information.

Go to a mirror and whilst wearing your diving mask look straight into the mirror with your head level and mark on the faceplate with a marker pen the centre of your pupils.

If you require bifocals we need a line putting on the faceplate which coincides with the bottom eyelids.

That's it, these markings will ensure you get maximum vision and comfort whilst diving
