Throwing this out here again. I can't see squat without my glasses. Can't wear contacts. I can't sight worth squat either. I need some RX goggles. Those RX vanquishers might work for some but not me. Anyone know of a company that will make goggles with my RX? I need help big time!
Thanks

There are many types of prescription like goggles that work for most folks that are $20-25. Why do you think they won't work for you? My husband can not see without glasses and very nearsighted. The speedo correction goggles work great for him and he wears them from the swim until he gets to T1 until he can put his sunglasses on.  There is even one brand where you can have a different correction for each eye by swapping out parts.

If you get actual custom goggles are likely 10-15x as expensive.

You can get them on ebay for almost nothing. If you look around, you'll see how to convert your Rx for sphere and cylinder to an equivalent sphere for goggles.

Swimoutlet.com is a "location" to start because there are about six or seven different goggles with modifications. More choices if you need "negative" lens than positive. As usual, fit and comfort of a goggle is an individual thing.

I found excellent pairs of px goggles for me and my boyfriend on Swimoutlet at extremely reasonable prices.

You can spend a small fortune on these pre-wrapped bundles of energy, thinking they offer magic ingredients-not true. “Energy” simply means “provides calories” and not “will make you feel energetic."
