These masks offer prescription-friendly twin-lens designs (compatible with drop-in corrective lenses), low-volume profiles for easy equalization, comfortable silicone skirts for a reliable seal, and options for stick-on bifocal “gauge readers”. Shop leading brands like Cressi and more to get clear vision underwater whether you need full correction or just sharper gauge reading.

Buyer’s Guide

  • Know your options: Drop-in corrective lenses (for select masks) replace the stock glass with your diopter. These are fast and affordable for nearsighted divers. Stick-on bifocals (+1.0 to +3.0) help you read gauges but don’t fix distance. Bonded custom RX gives full correction via a specialist lab.
  • Twin-lens, low volume: These masks sit closer to your eyes (easier equalization) and are the format most commonly compatible with drop-in prescription lenses.
  • Lens range & increments: Many off-the-shelf negative diopters are offered in 0.5-step increments (e.g., −1.0 to around −7.0); bifocal “readers” typically come in +1.0 to +3.0.
  • Prep & anti-fog: New lenses often ship with a factory film. Clean per maker guidance and use anti-fog before each dive for best clarity.
  • When in doubt: If you have strong astigmatism or complex RX, a bonded custom prescription or wearing soft contacts under a properly fitted mask may be the better path.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I wear my eyeglasses inside a dive mask?

No, frames will break seal and cause leaks. Use a mask that accepts drop-in corrective lenses, add stick-on bifocals for gauges, or look into custom bonded RX.

Which masks typically accept corrective lenses?

Most twin-lens, low-volume masks in specific families are designed to accept manufacturer optical lenses (ex: Cressi models like Focus/Prisma/Big Eyes Evo families via branded lenses). Check the product page or ask us to confirm compatibility.

What diopter strengths are available off the shelf?

Negative diopter lenses are commonly available in 0.5-step increments (e.g., −1.0 to about −7.0). Bifocal “gauge readers” typically come in +1.0 to +3.0. If you need astigmatism correction, consider a bonded RX.

Are stick-on readers reliable in saltwater?

Quality stick-on bifocals adhere well when installed carefully (clean lens, wet apply, squeegee bubbles) and are a budget-friendly way to read computers, cameras, and slates. They don’t correct distance vision.

Contacts vs. prescription mask – what’s better?

Soft daily-disposable contacts are popular and inexpensive; just close eyes if you briefly flood your mask. For frequent divers or higher diopters, a prescription-ready twin-lens mask can be more convenient.
