Recommendations for best reader/gauge reader masks

[happy-diver]

I use the Tusa ceos mask.

These lenses fit many masks inc particular models of generics, Scubapro, Dive rite.........

something like up to +4.5 and down to -8 or something in .5 measurements

and various gauge readers

under fifty bucks each

I'm using Dive Optx Scuba Mask Magnification Lenses also. Works great and easy to install.

Sorry, I've lost the plot. Which is it that you are recommending?

Bought a cheap pair of stick on gauge readers (the ones you install wet and let dry). Toothpick and a little silicone sealant. Problem solved.

Is the strength you used on land the same as the strength you used in your mask? I am considering purchasing these but not sure what strength.

I tried the Dive Rite bifocal readers. I liked the position and quality of the bifocal inserts, but did not like the mask overall. It was comfortable enough, but the main lenses are quite small, resulting in a restricted field of view compared to my Tusa Freedom HD, so I returned the Dive Rites.

I have since found that the Trident Diveoptyx stick-ons work well for me—easy to apply, stay on, optically good enough. I had previously tried the Trident glue-ons, but they kept coming off after a few dives. The Diveoptyx have stayed on for dozens of dives so far. The trick seems to be to allow at least 24 hours to dry after application.

Do you use the same reader strength in your mask as you use on dry land? I am considering getting these but not sure what strength to use.

I'm in the same boat, I've been using stick ons this year, but am looking to get something a little more permanent during the off season.

anyone have experience with Prescription Dive Mask Specialists | See The Sea RX ?

I talked to them a bit earlier this year they seem legit.

I got this from Piranha Dive with lenses for under $70.
Piranha Fish Eyes Mask
I think there is a 4/3 magnification factor in water so you can use a strength 3/4 of your normal reader strength. However, I’m not an optician, optometrist, or ophthalmologist, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express once.

Yes, same strength as topside. Many dives later the Diveoptyx stick-ons are still stuck tight and working well.
