Prescription goggles for children

6 replies

I am trying to find some prescription goggles for my child - but they don't like the "suck your eyeball" type goggles and currently wear Zoggs swim mask. Has anyone come across anywhere doing larger goggles or swim masks with a prescription?

My next plan is to trawl the opticians but as this is as interesting as my Saturday night is going to get, I thought I'd ask on here!

That site says you cant buy prescription goggles for kids. I did but had to say my child was over 16 to get them. They are supposed to be fitted by an optician.

I didn’t know you could buy prescription Goggles! I wear glasses full time. However, when I wear goggles underwater i can see crystal clear-no blurriness or nothing. I thought that’s the same for others as well? Have your children worn goggles before?

Yes my dd used to use normal ones but couldn't see properly (she is quite long sighted) so we got her prescription ones instead

My dd always had prescription goggles from Specsavers. No complaints

We have had them from Costco, they do a children's size and an adult size. Absolutely fantastic for Ds who has worn glasses since he was 5 but they are like normal goggles.

This site is recommended on MN and will probably be the next place I get them from. They do a swim mask.
