Adhesive is on the way...let me know how it works.

Thats great. Where else in the world can you find people so willing to help others than right here on Scubaboard?

Thanks for the assistance

Spit should work for the fogging issue

I'll give it a try.

Thanks

If you are just getting into bifocal age, I strongly suggest that you get a prescription at least 0.5 diopters stronger than you need for the reading part. I got just what I needed, and now a few years later the reading correction is not nearly enough. If you get too strong a correction (within reason), you will still be able to see fine really up close for now, at at reading distance a few years from now.

If I had to do it again, I would have done a full diopter more than I needed, which would initially have been good for looking up close at tiny things (nudibranch, Peterson shrimp, etc), and still okay 7 years later for reading and reasonably up close to said tiny things.

Try some readers at the drug store, and see how high you can go and still see what you need to for reading.

It seems I finally have them so they will stick but would feel a lot more confident if I had an adhesive on them. With that said they did stay in place tonight however they fog so bad I can not see through them at all. My mask is crystal clear. It was recommended by the company to not use defog on them so I am at a lose as to how ot keep them from fogging.

Ideas?

tridacna, pm sent on the adhesive, thanks

Scott, Once I got mine to stick, I used de-fog like I would any other mask. It's not a problem, just don't get too violent with them and you should be fine. De-fog or BelchFire spit works for me.

G'Luck.
