Custom vs. Pre-Made Prescription Swimming Goggles

Custom vs. Pre-Made Prescription Swimming Goggles: Which One is Right for You?

Swimming goggles are an essential piece of equipment for any swimmer. They provide clear vision and protection for your eyes while you're in the water. When it comes to choosing the right pair of prescription swimming goggles, there are two main options to consider: custom prescription swimming goggles and pre-made prescription swimming goggles.

Custom Prescription Swimming Goggles 

Our Custom-Made Prescription Swimming Goggles are designed to provide a fully customized Rx based on the user's eyeglass prescription. Essentially, these goggles are like waterproof eyeglasses for the user. If you have a more complex prescription that includes astigmatism, our Custom-Made Prescription Goggles series is the way to go as it provides a fuller adapted Rx. With these prescription swimming goggles, you'll get a more precise and accurate prescription that's tailored specifically to your eyes.

Pre-Made Prescription Swimming Goggles 

Our Pre-Made Prescription Swimming Goggles provide a spherical Rx for clear vision, whether you're nearsighted or farsighted. However, these goggles are not customized to your true Rx power unless your prescription is simple and has no cylinder.

Choosing the Right Swimming Goggles

When deciding between custom and pre-made prescription swimming goggles, it's important to consider your individual needs and preferences. If you have a more complex prescription and require a fuller adapted Rx, the Custom-Made Prescription Swimming Goggles series is your best choice. If your prescription is simple and doesn't require a full adaptation, the Pre-Made Prescription Swimming Goggles series might be a better fit for you.

Ultimately, the most important thing is to make sure you're using swimming goggles that provide clear vision and protect your eyes while you're in the water. Whether you choose custom or ready-custom prescription swimming goggles, make sure you're choosing a high-quality pair that fits comfortably and securely on your face. With the right pair of swimming goggles, you'll be able to enjoy your time in the water without worrying about your vision or your eye safety.
