I have 3 of their masks.
They are good bang for the buck.

There are other folks making masks also, but I love these.

Blind as a white guppy in the back of a cave.
 
I just found out today that I have become alergic to my own body fluids in my eyes, which causes major problems with my contacts. There is a possibility I will never be able to wear contacts again, so I imagine I will have to go with a prescription mask. I do use bifocals, but with my contacts I had one eye that was not corrected as strong, and I was able to read and see underwater just fine. I wonder if I would be able to do this with a mask?

There may be a slight possibility that you cannot ever wear contacts again but I doubt it has anything whatsoever to do with the absurd notion that you are "allergic to your own body fluids in your eyes".

However you have confirmed my belief that there are some eye doctors out there who will tell patients just about anything, and/or there are some patients who are unable to understand what their eye doctor is trying to tell them.

I asked the doc if I had become allergic to my contacts. She told me no, I had become allergic to the body fluids in my eye. I didn't know how that was possible. Maybe she meant there was a problem with my autoimmune system and she didn't think I would understand what she was talking about.
