Underwater Eyewear
Eyes don't work well when surrounded by water, so we wear goggles or masks give our eyes some air to work in. But what if you normally wear glasses on dry land?
Here are some options:
- Readymade prescription swimming goggles
- Custom-made swimming goggles
- Wearing daily disposable contact lenses inside regular goggles or diving mask
- Custom-made diving masks - can include bifocal segment for close work.
- Refractive surgery - LASIK and PRK
If you need to see clear in and under the water, let us know, and we'll sort out the best option for you.
Eye Health Facts
What is colour blindness?
The eye determines the colour of what we are looking at by how much response comes from each of three types of light receptors (red, green, or blue). The most common type of colour vision deficiency is where one type of light receptor, usually red or green, doesn't work as well.
This reduces the range and appearance of colours, with some colours that are clearly different to normal eyes appearing the same to a colour deficient people. What do they see? one demo, another.
True colour blindness - black and white only - is very rare. Colour vision deficiencies are usually inherited, and are more common in boys than girls.
