Prescription Mask??

[scubatoys]

prescription masks:
1. are they heavy?
2. are the prescription lenses the same size as the mask lens?
3. Doesn't this create more tunnel vision than a normal mask?

There are several ways to do prescriptions... If bonding, another lens is glued to the present lens. This does limit the vision a bit and make them heavier. The better method, is the whole lens is replaced with a prescription one. For stock diopters like -2.5, -4.0 etc... it's a pretty fast and cheap procedure... about 50 bucks for a mask, and another 50 for the lenses. If you have an astigmatism, you might need custom ground, which costs more, but then again, can replace the whole lens without adding any extra weight of tunnel vision.

The real question is how many people have watched TV wearing their prescription lens goggles because they misplaced their glasses?

It's only been once I swear.

Hmmm.....does this include tank and reg?

Answer: For TV never. There is nothing that important to watch. To be able to see SB I would without a doubt.
