Prescripton Swimming Goggles

Options
I am looking for a good online store for prescription swimming goggles. Obviously (being on this site says it all) I do not want to spend too much. Is there anyone out there that has any experience of any good priced websites. They are purely for holiday swimming, only likely to be worn a total of 4 - 5 weeks before having to be changed again!

The annoying thing is that they seem to be more expensive than ordinary glasses but you can't get your exact prescription, at least that is what I have observed so far - what I am hoping is that people on here will tell me the opposite. Please, prove me wrong!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:beer:

    Sorry, just had to try and reply as quick as possible.

    Heres the link

    They dont seem to have an astigmatism correction so maybe a good idea to give them a call or email if you have a cyl value on your prescription.

    Oops, just looked at that link and it says can be made to your exact prescription so should be fine.

    Money back guarantee too.

    Ive used these guys (as has father and 3 work colleagues) = top company

    From the states but a lot cheaper than here and you can get spare straps etc.

    About 34 dollars inc P&P - should be well below £20 with current exchange rate.

    Now where is the cheapest place to get beer goggles?

    Vision Express do them or £30

    afe reading later pos will edit to say they do not come with cyl correction but should not make too much difference unless you have high cyl
    :D The glass is always half full, no exceptions !!:D

    I think aquagoggles was where I got mine from last summer. Good delivery time too.

    Aquagoggles are fantastic - my daughter is a gala swimmer and uses them, as well as in the sea on holiday. Good quality, fast delivery and inexpensive.

    WOW, very impressed!!!!!!!!

    I don't think any of them do astigmatism correction (which I do need in my normal galsses), but let's face it things look different underwater!!:beer:

    I got some last year from the Tesco opticians inside our Tesco Extra (Kingston Milton Keynes) for £9.99.
    I am as blind as a bat! (-7) and the strongest they do is -6, but they are fine. I wouldn't win a beauty contest wearing them, but they do the job!!

    I forgot to say - you just buy them off the peg, like reading glasses. I have to wear my glasses all the time, but I reckoned they were OK just for going swimming!
