Swim goggles with nearsighted prescription

Are you tired of not being able to see properly while swimming with regular swim goggles or having to wear contact lenses under them just because you're short-sighted? Then you've come to the right place. On this page you will find a wide range of short-sighted swim goggles in different shapes and colours. This means you can see just as well in water as with glasses and contact lenses on land. So take a look around the site and find the pair of short-sighted swim goggles you need.

Glasses with different strengths in one pair of swim goggles

Many people do not have the same near-sightedness in both eyes and therefore need glasses or contact lenses with different strengths. Of course, the same goes for swim goggles, which is why they are so smartly designed that they will be able to mix and match the different strengths you require in your swim goggles.

Therefore, you also have the option to choose from -1.0 all the way up to -8.0, so you can customise your goggles to suit you best. This applies to both kids and adults, which is a great advantage if the strength changes over time. This is sometimes seen with kids in particular, which is why it's nice to be able to replace one glass with a new strength instead of having to buy a whole new pair of short-sighted swim goggles.

The glasses themselves are easy to replace - especially the Primotec ones - so it's not a hassle to change the strength. Therefore, you can keep your favourite short-sighted swim goggles once you've finally found a pair that suits you.

Choose the right colour of glasses for your short-sighted swim goggles

There are different types of glasses, especially the colour you can get them in. This has a big impact on the swimming activity you need them for. To make it easier to understand, we have listed the different types and their advantages and disadvantages:

• Clear glass: Giving you a natural view, they work well in low-light conditions and in murky water. However, they do not protect against strong light sources such as sunlight, bright lamps, glare on the water surface or sudden flashes of light. Therefore, they are best suited for indoor use in moderate light conditions
• Black/Smoke glass: Are the closest thing to sunglasses designed for use in water. Therefore, you could say that they work under the same conditions in water as you would when wearing sunglasses on land. Therefore, their use also depends a lot on your personal light sensitivity. They are particularly favoured by triathletes in open water as they provide good protection against sunlight, flashes, and glare. However, they have the disadvantage that the lower the light conditions, the less you can see. However, they work well both indoors and outdoors
• Blue glass: Has the same properties as swim goggles with clear glasses, but gives your vision a bluish tint. This helps prevent glare from the water surface and flashes of light, so you won't be suddenly blinded while swimming. You also come in other colours, but the functionality is the same.
  Therefore, it's a good idea to consider what water activity you'll be using your short-sighted swim goggles for. If you “only” need to protect your eyes and have a natural view when swimming, then you will benefit the most from a pair of clear swim goggles
  
  If, on the other hand, you'll be using them on open water and in the swimming pool, where you may be hit by bright light - from the sun, for example - then it's best to go for a pair of short-sighted swim goggles with smoke glasses.

Good maintenance and the right equipment

Once you've found a pair of short-sighted swim goggles with the right prescription, it's also worth taking good care of them. Buying a pair of swim goggles with a prescription isn't quite the same as buying a pair of regular swim goggles, and it's also annoying if the glasses break and get scratched.

That's why it's a good idea to take as much care of them as you would a normal pair of goggles. You can easily avoid accidents by storing them in a case for swim goggles when you're not using them or transporting them.

All the swim goggles you find on this site are of good quality and are therefore also treated with antifog on the inside of the glasses, which prevents them from fogging up when you swim with them. However, this effect will slowly disappear as they are used. That's why we also recommend that you treat them with an antifog spray yourself if they start to fog up. It's easy to do yourself and takes no time at all.

You can also easily extend the life of your short-sighted swim goggles with simple maintenance. Salt and chlorinated water is generally hard on the materials swimming equipment is made of and will eventually tenderise them - especially if not washed off. This will eventually cause them to leak and the strap to break.

Therefore, we also recommend that you rinse your short-sighted swim goggles with fresh water after each use. In addition, make sure they are completely dry before you put them in storage. This will prevent mould and limescale deposits.

If you do happen to break the strap, don't worry, you can buy a new one right here.
