Kids prescription ski goggles?

Hi, where is the cheapest place I can get my Ds some prescription ski goggles?
Or I'd love to hear what other parents do?

Hi
Both my DS have always worn goggles over their glasses. We started with adult goggles over kids glasses. You can now get OTG (over the glasses) goggles. Take the glasses when you go to buy the goggles. Prescription goggles are pricey and as kids prescriptions change you might only use them for one week

My daughter uses over the glasses goggles as well. She is a plus 9 prescription , she prefers to ski on sunny days, as she can see better.

Sound like us. Ds2 has +10. DS 1 prefers yellow goggles as it brightens things.

That sounds great thanks, I'm going to google where I can buy the goggles now. Any recommendations for cheap shops?

We used ordinary goggles over glasses, got them in decathlon just get DC to try a few on, it was much easier than I expected

DS 2 (9) has prescription goggles, £80, we get them from Boots opticians.

Goggles over glasses just steamed up.
