Why Vision Matters Below the Surface

For many divers, clear vision underwater isn’t just a convenience — it’s a safety and performance issue. Whether you’re reading your gauges, checking your buddy’s signals, or enjoying the reef, seeing clearly makes every dive better and safer.

Traditional solutions like prescription dive masks or optical inserts can help, but they often come with limitations:

• Prescription masks: These are custom‑made masks where the lenses themselves are ground to your prescription. While effective, they require owning and fitting a specific mask and can be costly. Filling different prescriptions (e.g., astigmatism or multifocals) can be tricky or limited.

• Optical inserts: These small lenses fit into a mask skirt but only work with certain mask designs, can fog up, and sit far from your eyes — diminishing field of view and comfort.

What Makes Our Solution Different

MaskOptix Prescription Dive Glasses were designed from the ground up for divers who want freedom, comfort, and clear vision without compromise:

👓 Engineered to Fit Inside Your Mask

Unlike prescription masks that replace the entire mask lens, our glasses fit comfortably inside all full‑size dive masks and most half‑mask designs — so you can use your own favorite mask. The low‑profile frame doesn’t interfere with the seal or fit of the mask skirt, preserving safety and comfort.

👁️🗨️ True Prescription Precision

We can accommodate a wide range of prescriptions — including single vision, bifocals, and progressive lenses — delivering accurate, natural vision for both distance and close‑up tasks like reading instruments.

🌊 Versatile & Practical

• Our glasses can be worn on land and underwater, so there’s no awkward swap at the surface.

• They sit closer to the eyes than inserts, offering a wider field of view and minimized optical distortion.

• Designed with flexible ear hooks and thin temples, they stay secure even during mask clears.

This combination of versatility, optical clarity, and compatibility is why Scuba Diving magazine chose MaskOptix as one of the best new pieces of gear for divers looking to enhance their underwater vision.

What Divers Are Saying

Many divers who struggle with traditional solutions find that wearing our glasses is a game‑changer — no more straining to see gauges, no awkward mask swaps, and no pressure on the face from oversized corrective masks. Instead, you get the freedom to choose your mask and take your prescription vision with you on every dive.

Ready for Your Next Dive?

Whether you’re a newcomer seeking confidence or a seasoned explorer chasing clarity in every corner of the reef, superior vision changes the way you dive. Dive with confidence, comfort, and sharp focus — both above and below the surface.
