Ive seen it done with some kinda contraption to fasten them. Looked like hell to keep clean. Get contacts

I wear them to see far away..keeping them clean could be a problem..how much to get a ground mask?

I have difficulty reading my compass, computer, etc. For several years now, I've used Dive Optics in my mask. They can be trimmed to fit as you wish. I use a tiny dab of clear silicone adhesive on the corners to keep them in place and it works extremely well. If you decide later to remove them,they come right out and the silicone peels easily off the mask plate with no damage or remaining residue. A pair cost approx. $35.00.

Prescription Dive Masks is your best bet. Ask for Linda. I dove with her on a trip a few years back. Lovely person and they do quality work. 5 masks for me so far. Superb quality.

I have used both, Prescription Dive Mask are great people to deal with, all my current mask are from them. Before I needed more than a simple reader lens I used the stick in lens- there are several brands. The key to them is proper installation. First off your mask must be clean. A good scrubbing with tooth paste followed by a scrubbing with denatured alcohol to make sure there is nothing on the glass. Then put the lens into HOT water,as hot as you can stand to work in, letting them soak for a few minutes to get hot and soft. Then install them on the lenses smoothing out any air pockets. Pat dry and set the mask aside for several days to fully dry. Using that proceedure I never had them come loose.
