One of my more interesting Executive Bifocal installations. Strong near sight with lots of astigmatism.

Rred, Regarding AFAIK. When you can purchase a single vision sphere prescription dive mask for less than $50.00 complete with shipping from Hong Kong on EBay; most divers are not my customer. I specialize in the prescriptions or custom made lenses that can not be mass produced.

Rred, I can remove the lenses with my methods and custom made tools; but the time and labor involved make it more economical to just make the old dive mask a backup and get a new mask.

Rred, Thanks for looking me up. Once we became pure mail order, I decided to move to Overland Park, KS. I have modified my Dad's machinery, methods, and materials to produce a much more exact lens fit with thinner lenses. All of my work is guaranteed for life. The range of prescriptions I...

If you are intending to dive wearing your contact lenses, please check with your eye care professional to verify there are no issues. If you feel your visual needs are satisfied with just a gauge reader on one side then that will work. I have provided many custom or occupational lenses...

Sam, Good to hear from you. I have a July 1963 Skin Diver Magazine with the add. From what I gather "Belgium Blue Glass" is something akin to Fenton Glass which is for collectible glass objects. A blue light filter is another item all together. The idea is to filter out the blue light/UV...

I have personally handled 10,000's of dive mask over the last 48 years. I agree with msinc that unless your in a light deprived environment you will not notice the difference of the Schott glass; and that coatings that reduce light entering the eye reduce visibility. I can tell you that a good...
