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
Do exercises help eyes?
Each eye's movements are controlled by 6 different muscles - so when you move your eyes 12 different muscles are needing to work in co-operation. Luckily for most people, this all happens without having to think about it. Some people do have trouble co-ordinating the movements and the focus of their eyes, and so for these people eye exercises are helpful, leading to clearer and more comfortable vision.
However it's important to know the limitation of eye exercises. For many conditions eye exercises don't help at all. Be sure to know the cause of your vision problem before starting eye exercises - so that the right treatment is given, and so that you don't spend a lot of time exercising for no benefit.
