    How Do I Know If I need a Nearsighted (Myopia) Rx mask?


    If things in the distance look blurry, like coral reefs, fish, or boats, you likely need a nearsighted swim mask.. Our negative (-) prescription snorkel mask lenses help create a mask for clear underwater vision, bringing far-away details into focus while still keeping close-up vision sharp.

  • How Do I Know If I need a Farsighted Snorkel Mask (Hyperopia / Presbyopia)

    If you see clearly far away but struggle to focus on things up close, like your gauges, camera, or the fish right in front of you, you’re likely farsighted.

    Our plus (+) Rx lenses help bring everything into focus at once, making it easier to see clearly both near and far underwater.

Rx Snorkel Mask FAQ

What is an Rx snorkel mask?

An Rx snorkel prescription mask is a scuba dive snorkeling mask fitted with optical lenses matched to your vision. Instead of struggling to see underwater or trying to wear contacts in the ocean, you get clear, corrected vision built directly into the mask. These Rx masks are available for both nearsighted and farsighted prescriptions and are a key part of modern snorkeling gear for any diver who wants a natural, comfortable view and a broad field of vision.

Can I use an Rx dive mask for scuba diving as well as snorkeling?

Yes. Every snorkel and dive mask in our range uses HD tempered glass lenses and is rated for scuba diving up to 100 ft (30 m). Whether you snorkel on the surface or go deeper on a dive trip, the mask performs the same way and gives you reliable crystal-clear underwater vision with a comfortable fit.

What is the difference between an Rx scuba mask and a regular dive mask?

A regular dive mask has plain flat lenses. Rx masks have optically ground lenses matched to your prescription so you can see clearly underwater without contacts or glasses. The frame, face seal, and strap are the same as standard dive masks and snorkel masks often made with soft and supple silicone or a liquid silicone injected skirt for a secure seal. The only difference is the prescriptoin lenses.

Do I need a nearsighted or farsighted Rx mask?

Check the SPH column on your glasses or contact lens prescription. If the number has a minus sign (e.g. -3.00), you are nearsighted and need a minus lens Rx mask. If it has a plus sign (e.g. +2.00), you are farsighted and need a plus lens mask. Not sure? Email us at info@oceansoptics.com and we will confirm your specific prescription for you, including cases like astigmatism.

Will my Rx mask lenses match my glasses prescription exactly?

Not exactly, and that is intentional. Water creates natural magnification, so wearing your full glasses prescription in an Rx dive mask often feels too strong. We slightly reduce the lens strength so your vision feels more natural underwater. Our lens calculator helps you find the best prescription setup, whether you need single vision nearsighted or farsighted options.

What prescription strengths do your Rx masks cover?

Nearsighted Rx masks are available from -1.00 to -9.00 in increments 0.50. Farsighted options are available in whole steps from +1.00 to +5.00. Each product page shows the exact range available. If your prescription falls outside the range shown, contact us and we will help you find the best option or suitable lenses on the market.

Can I have different lens strengths for each eye in my Rx mask?

Yes. You select the left and right lens strength separately at checkout, so asymmetric prescriptions are fully supported across all our masks with corrective lenses for a balanced and comfortable view.

Which prescription scuba mask is right for me?

It depends on your face seal size width, face shape, and prescription range. Some masks are low volume for a closer fit, while others offer a wide field of vision with a stylish and sleek low profile. If you prefer something lightweight, a low profile mask with soft silicone can be a great choice. Our best selling models fit a range of face types and give a secure, comfortable seal. Use our auto measure face-fit scanner or our quiz or contact us to choose the right option from our snorkel masks available.
