The you have come to the right place. Here on this page you will find a wide selection of nearsighted swim goggles in different shapes and colours. This makes it possible for you to look as good in the water as you do on land with your glasses or contact lenses. So take a look around and find the pair of nearsighted swim goggles you need. 

Lenses with different prescription strengths in a pair of swim goggles

Many do not have the same nearsightedness on both eyes, and therefore they need glasses or contact lenses with different prescription strengths. The same goes for swim goggles, and therefore they are made so that you can choose different strengths in each lens.

So you have the opportunity to choose from -1.0 all the way up to -8.0, so you'll be able to adapt your swim goggles to your liking. This goes for both kids and adults, which is a big advantage if the strength changes over time. That happens from time to time, especially among kids, and therefore it is nice to be able to switch out a lens with a new strength - instead of having to buy a new pair of nearsighted prescription swim goggles. 

The lenses themselves are easy to change - especially those from Primotec - so it's not difficult to change the strength. Therefore, you can also keep your favourite nearsighted swim goggles when you've finally found a pair that suits you. 

Choose the right colour lenses for your nearsighted swim goggles

Lenses in swim goggles are not just lenses, as they come in different colours. It matters significantly depending on which activity you need them for. So to make it a bit easier we have made a list of the different types and their advantages. 

• Clear lenses: Provide you with natural field of view and therefore they work well in not so well-lit conditions with unclear water. On the contrary, they do not protect you from strong sources of light such sunlight, powerful lamps, glare from the water's surface or sudden glimpses of light. That is why the are best suited for indoor use in moderate light conditions.
• Black/Smoke lenses: Is the closest you get to using sunglasses in the water. That is why you can say that they work best when water's condition is the same as when you would use sunglasses on land. Therefore, it also depends on your own sensitivity to light. The are particularly use by triathletes in open water, as the protect you from sunlight, flashes of light and glare. Despite this, the do have the disadvantage, that the weaker the lighting conditions, the less you can see. The work well both inside and outside. 
• Blue lenses: Has the same properties as swim goggles with clear lenses, but they do give your vision a blue tinge. It protects you from the water's surface glare and flashes of light, so you do not suddenly get blinded while you swim. You can also get them in other colours, but their functions are the same. 

That is why it is a good idea to consider what water activity you are going to use your nearsighted swim goggles for. If you "only" need to protect your eyes and have a natural view when you swim, then you'll benefit the most from using a pair of swim goggles with clear lenses.  

But if you're going to be using them in the open water and at the pool where you can be hit by strong light - from the sun, for example, the it's best to get a pair of nearsighted swim goggles with smoke lenses.

Good maintenance and the right gear

When you've finally found a pair nearsighted swim goggles with the correct strength, then it's worth taking good care of them. As it is not the same as ordering a pair of ordinary swim goggles, it would be very annoying if the lenses got scratched or if the elastic band breaks. 

That's why it's a good idea to treat them the same as your normal glasses. You will avoid many accidents by storing them in a case for swim goggles, when you're not using them. Then you're certain that they do not break, when you stow them away or transport them.

All swim goggles of good quality are treated with anti-fog on the inside of the lenses, which means that they will not fog up when you're using them. They effect gradually wears off as they are used, and therefore we also recommend that you treat them with anti-fog spray yourself. By doing this, you avoid them becoming useless over time - it would be annoying finally being able to see with a pair of farsighted prescription goggles, because they fog up making it difficult for you to see when you swim. 

In addition, we also recommend that you rinse them well in fresh water after each use, and make sure they're completely dry before putting them away. Chlorine- and saltwater can, in time, be hard on the materials, and if you do not rinse it off, it will wear down the goggles. This will end up making the skirt around the lenses leaky and the elastic band will break when you put them on.

If an accident were to occur and the elastic band breaks, then you can buy a new one right here.
