How RX lenses help overall?

Underwater, light bends differently and can make your usual prescription feel too strong. We lower it slightly to prevent overmagnification. Step 1: Enter your prescription to find your recommended underwater lens strength
Why you need a
Prescription Snorkel and Dive Mask!
See the reef the way it was meant to be seen. Our prescription dive masks and prescription snorkeling masks (RX masks) put your exact diopter into a comfortable, well-sealing frame.
So you can skip contacts, skip renting a gross mask that won’t have your prescription, and avoid missing that turtle or puffer fish cruising by. Contacts can dry out in saltwater and trap sand; an RX mask gives you crisp vision the moment you hit the water.
Nearsighted vs. farsighted.
Nearsighted (Myopia)
If you’re nearsighted, distant detail goes blurry. Negative-diopter lenses bend incoming light outward before it reaches your eyes, so far-away subjects like reefs, fish, and boats snap into focus. About 1 in 3 Americans are nearsighted. Correcting myopia also improves overall clarity across typical dive distances, not just “far away.”
Farsighted (Hyperopia/Presbyopia)
If you’re farsighted, plus-diopter lenses aren’t only for close-up. They shift the focal point forward so the eye doesn’t have to work as hard. That small change in the angle of convergence helps your retina receive a sharp image across a wide range of distances: gauges at arm’s length, your buddy a few meters away, and the reef beyond. In short, farsighted RX masks improve overall clarity, not just close-up vision.
