How to choose your lens correction

If you are unsure about your prescription please read our Guide to Prescriptions.

Lens corrections are based on your spherical reading and can be found on the glasses prescription obtained from your optician. Typically it will look something like this:

We are only interested in the spherical reading (sph) which in this case is +1.50 in the right eye and +1.00 in the left eye. Unfortunately, lens corrections are typically only available in increments of 0.5 so you will need to opt for the closest lens correction. Please don't hesitate to ask us if you are unsure about the best correction to choose.

We recommend rounding up for plus lenses and down for minus. 

You will need to add TWO lenses to your basket (unless you only need a correction for one eye of course). The prices shown are per lens with lenses starting at around £35 for a single lens. 

If you have a cylinder or axis correction above 2.00 then you may find that off the shelf corrective lenses produced by mask manufacturers will not provide a suitable solution as these lenses can not correct for astigmatism. If this is likely to be a problem you may need to look at bespoke prescription masks lenses which are custom-made to your exact prescription and can be designed to fit nearly any twin lens mask of your choice. Unfortunately, that is not an option we offer.

Checkout:

Once you have finished adding everything you want to order to your basket you can continue on to the checkout and start the completion process.

We will automatically fit the prescription lenses and send you the blank lenses with your order - We often use the same packaging to protect the lens in transit. 

Please note - the lenses are non returnable once they are fitted.

We do still suggest pretreating your mask (if there is no UV coating). Check out our guide on how to Pre-Treat your new mask.
