I have tried bifocal lenses in a Tusa Ceos mask which are OK but the mask is not the best fit for me. My old Tusa Liberator Plus is the best fit - but I am having trouble finding bifocal lenses for it, but there are some full lenses still available.
Question - would a full lens +1.5 be suitable or would I find the magnification disorientating?
Next question - does anyone know where I can get +1.5 bifocal lenses for the Tusa LIberator Plus?

By the way I have a new unused Tusa Liberator Plus which I bought as a back up some years ago so issues about fitting lenses into an old, used mask would not be a problem.

If you have a heath care savings account at work it will cover prescription scuba masks.
 
Thanks, but I am UK. We don't have such things. I'm coming down to trying full 1.5 lenses in the Tusa Liberator. I can always put the plain glass back. if it doesn't work out. Hey - it'll make the sharks and mantas look even bigger.

Seriously, if anyone has any comments, would really appreciate hearing how you have got on.
 
I wear +2.5 reading glasses, I have + 1.5 in my Dmask which I find to be a a good overall compromise.
 
Thanks. I think that has helped me decide. 1.5 full lenses it is.
