Back in 2006, our optician James found a dusty pair of black prescription swimming goggles in a drawer at an opticians where he was working. As a keen swimmer himself, he saw the potential of offering more choice to swimmers who wore glasses or contact lenses, such as in goggle colour, size and lens tint.
He decided to create a site stocking every model available in the UK and this still remains our core purpose;
'To offer choice and value prescription swimming goggles and diving masks, along with professional service to swimmers and divers who wear glasses or lenses.'
We source as many models as we can because we know that a one-size-fits-all approach doesn't work for everyone. Face, head and nose sizes and shapes vary so our popular trial goggle fitting service, allows you to try a few on first before you buy.
By measuring and including goggle headstrap lengths on our site, you can see at a glance which models come up longer or shorter. Many of these features are the result of customer requests for further information, as we strive to constantly improve our service to you. Our accessories section allows you to look after and protect your purchases while you are in the water.
And of course, having an optician on hand to advise on complex prescriptions or requests means that we can give that little bit more help to our customers.
If you think you might benefit from a prescription goggle or mask, call us 0330 660 0796 on or view our selection here www.prescription-swimming-goggles.co.uk
