DGX Gears Rio Gauge Reader Mask

The DGX Rio Two Lens Mask has a larger lens area for a wider field of vision.

This is an endorsement. I use their other reader mask DGX Gears Ren Gauge Reader Mask with my reader strength and it has worked wonderfully. My eyes require different strengths, and they can set them up for you. Also, it fits me well at a great price. The difference between the 2 masks is fitting face shape.
I used to use the XS Scuba “gauge reader” mask but you have to crank your eyes down in order to use the reader lens, which is a pain, literally and figuratively.

Further progress and money spent. The contact lenses did not work out for me. When driving with the aircon on, my eyes dried out and became uncomfortable. I had a low threshold for giving up on them.

I ordered a mask with bifocal lenses from this company: Prescription Dive Masks
They were good to deal with and they setup lenses for photographers. It's a shame that nothing was available in NZ, but that's not unusual. Mask is a Cressi Calibro. Tests on dry land are promising, but as always the real test will be in the water. The mask and lenses were expensive at AU$435, but I didn't see an alternative. Underwater photography was becoming impossible and I could have replaced my computers, but that would have been even more expensive!

Do "SeaVision" and "Prescription Dive Masks" both do exactly the same thing?

When doing things this way I always worry that the mask simply will not fit my face and will leak.

Looks like they offer similar products.

As I indicated, wasn’t an endorsement, I was just trying to show an example of that defined term.

I have the sea vision mask with my prescription and the readers. I am on my 2nd frame in 4 years as it keeps cracking where the readers are located close to the edge and they bump out the frame causing cracks. I’m not exactly sure what I’ll replace it with yet, but contacts and a reader mask look promising.
