High refractive index prescription masks?

[Iralub]

I'm wondering whether someone makes prescription masks with lenses with high refractive index. My eyesight is -8.5, so without a prescription mask I'm basically blind. I can't wear contact lenses (don't ask! )

I have a prescription mask, which fits great, but the lenses are super thick, limiting the field of vision and sometimes resulting in double vision as light refracts within the lens. I want to find a mask with tine lenses but the same prescription, which I think would need high refractive index lenses.

Anyone know if such mask lenses exist?

Google Precription Dive Masks in San Diego. They do thin lenses for high refractive Rxs.

Yea, forget off the shelf lenses. I have used PDM as well with nice results and they are frequently mentioned here on the board. Be sure you have a good mask that works on your face before getting the lens work done.
