Hi, my partner and I are visiting Egypt in a few weeks and plan to do a lot of snorkling. My partner is looking to purchase a prescription mask (she has a negative prescription), my questions are:
1) which lens are any good, the fitted type or the stick in lenses?
2) does the refraction of the water effect the strengh of the prescription required? ie does it need to be the same as her glasses prescription?
3) any tips or general advice when purchasing a prescription mask for snorkling purposes?
Thanks in advance for your advice

hi the type of lens depens on short sight or long sight if you are long sighted then the only lens avial able is the stick on type. to alow normal distance view and looking through stick on lens to read instroments (should be position so as not to obstruct normall distance view) i use the stick on lens they work fine you just need to move them around untill they are right for you (you can also remove and refit them again and again) hope this is of some use paul
