Prescription Swimming Goggles

Options
Hi

I've just read another thread on this board that mentioned prescription swimming goggles, and I want some! Where is the best place to get them from? Does anyone know a make they can recommend? Are they any good? Obviously the cheaper the better, but I'm willing to pay a fair amount for a decent pair.

I used to love swimming, but I'm not so keen now my eyesight is worse. I can't believe I didn't think to buy some of these earlier!

Thanks in advance for any help :D

    I got mine from here http://www.gosportspex.co.uk/PrescriptionSwimmingGoggles.asp and they're fine. Although I did have to send the first pair back as they were a bit strong (I'm on the boderline between -4.0 and -3.5) so they replaced them with a different pair.

    I believe you can also get cash back through quidco (but I didn't know about quidco when I bought them).

    Specsavers did mine - 20 or 25 quid.

    I always thought they were really expensive or didn't exist. I can't believe all the years I never had them, they are just great.
