    Any advice on where to get reasonably priced swim goggles with prescription lenses?

    I've been quoted €55 in Specsavers & €40 in Vision Express.

    I can see a few on-line options, but anyone a good experience to share?

    have used there myself, ordered them this year
    delivered within a week and for me they are great

    they say themselves though, only really good for occaisional swimming, i think if you are going to be doing loads of lenghts you'd be better off with better ones, but for me they are excellent.

    only thing is they have become scratched, but they mentio this can happen on the site

    but for the price, you can go wrong

    I done it the easy way and went to specsavers, they rechecked the 2 kids eyes and had the right lenses available, not too bad for €100. not cheap but good value;)

    Got a pair of goggles (they do them in .5 increments) delivered and all for €27.

    They're great IMO - fit well and I can SEE IN THE POOL!! Which is rather exciting after all these years!
