Prescription swimming goggles
My ds14’s eyesight has deteriorated to -5 in one eye and -2 in the other making it hard for him to swim.
Does anyone have any recommendations as to where to order him some goggles from. His last pair were from spec savers but he didn’t fin£ them very comfortable,

We have used these people on numerous occasions:
prescription-swimming-gog...r-opt9000.html This basic goggle suits my active boys just fine. My oldest is -4 so really struggles without them. The one thing I would say, is that if your son has an astigmatism, the the goggles won’t correct this. Our optician jiggled around with his prescription to suggest the best combination for him. He gets new glasses every 6 months or so, so these are cheap enough to upgrade as well. |

I would defiantly recommend this website, I bought a pair of prescription goggles prior to our 2017 Florida trip. Sent them a copy of my prescription and received the goggles a few days later.
Made such a difference being able to do waterparks with them on rather than relying on sunglasses (especially after my prescription sunglasses fell off on a slide in 2014 and in the Typhoon Lagoon wave pool in 2016). I got a pair intended for outside swimming which had a sunglasses style mirrored lens. Not perfect in the Florida sun, but a lot better than nothing. |

Decathlon do prescription goggles that you make yourself you buy the frame and then the lenses you need. They are called selfit. Me and my husband have them and they are very comfortable, there are different sizes and you can replace one lens if it gets scratched and it’s only about £14 for the pair.

My kids swim competitivelg and have always used Specsavers as you can order different lenses for each eye.
Most places say same prescription in both. I've recently been recommended Decathlon as you pick a different lens for each and they're available in store so no waiting. |

I am - 5 also. I bought these aqua sphere Eagle goggles. I bought from wiggle but they are available elsewhere. You then buy the lens separately according to prescription and swop them into frame instead of the normal ones. I have these 1 year and use them regularly. Its great to be able to see in water and around the pool area.
