If you have bad eyesight, don’t worry- it will not keep you from seeing our beautiful coral reefs here in the Florida Keys. Depending on your prescription, you have options. For most farsighted divers (you can see better farther away than up close), a regular lens mask works just fine, as the fish are far enough away to see clearly. Most nearsighted divers (can see up close but not far away) are in need of prescription masks. We sell and rent prescription masks here at Dive Duck Key. We offer a range of prescriptions from a -1.0 to a -8.0. If you are not sure of your prescription, no problem! We will play eye doctor and hold each mask up to your face until you find the one that works best for you. If your prescription is more unique, such as a severe stigmatism, you may have more difficulty using a standard prescription mask. But your eye doctor is capable of putting your exact prescription in your mask, at a hefty fee, of course! Many divers find it just as easy, if not easier, to wear their contacts while diving. If you are not sure if you are comfortable doing so, you can always try wearing contacts with a regular lens mask in the pool first, to see how you do with it. One way or the other, you do not want to miss out on our spectacular underwater world!
