Depending on where you are in the world, the prescription-dive-mask.com option will match your prescription best, especially if you want to correct for the astigmatism. I’m not an optometrist, but you can reach out to those guys, as they have one on staff. For me, I’ve a slight astigmatism and have also been satisfied (to a lesser degree maybe) with simple -1.5 & -1.0, even though I have a -1.5 & -1.25. That’s where the less expensive mask at the top makes a great extra prescription scuba mask.
Oh no, it’s the worst way to end a dive buy dropping the most important piece of gear.
For a replacement, and if you’re looking for a more personal approach, you can visit prescriptiondivemasks.com they also have a physical shop.

Thanks good article. In May 2018 I purchased Palantic Bifocal Black gauge reader mask for farsighted power +2.00 I purchased through Amazon and going back in history I have found the purchase but unable to “buy again “ :(. I really liked the cause I know the fit,,,so while finally getting in the water at a quarry not far from home I lost my mask and because I am not computer literate ,so it seems, can’t find the replacement or a site to make contact with a human to put in an order. I am going diving ,I hope, in Dec.
since I read this article I thought I would reach out to see if you had a reliable connection ,or at least would answer me back.
I need a bifocal type ,I thought I’d go to +2.50 this time ,no prescription yet because eyes are still changing.
I do hope to get words back from you, thanks.

Do they make a progressive scuba mask like they make progressive lens? I am farsighted and I have a mask with bifocals 1.5 correction but having some difficulty with reading my compass when I am holding it in front of me. Suggestions?
