Having gone through this situation myself I thought I would add my 2 cents. Getting to that age where I have to face the fact that I need reading glasses on the surface quickly developed to needing reading glasses in the water. I couldn't see the settings on my camera, couldn't read the numbers on a SPG and couldn't get full functionality out of my dive computer.
On the surface I now use progressive lens glasses which means I can just see everything and forget that I am wearing glasses.
Having used the same single lens mask for the last 20 years (Oceanic Shadow) I tried some of the stick on's but none of them lasted very long. I even tried some of the masks that have replacement lenses. If they fit properly they work ok. Unfortunately for me one of the masks I bought leaked. The other gave me a sore nose after 30min.
Eventually I was recommended See The Sea RX: Home
I contacted them. I sent them my prescription. I cant remember what modification they recommended but i followed their recommendations and I am very happy with the result. If you dive a lot then I would highly recommend speaking to a professional who can interpret your prescription for the best result.
They were very quick and efficient. The supplied a brand new Oceanic Shadow with custom fitted reading lenses. Shipped it internationally for me. Very impressed with the result. I will be ordering a backup mask as well.
