    Hi all. Not having huge luck with the prescription swim goggles I have in terms of field of view, seal and fogging.

    Has anyone any recommendations for good prescription triathlon goggles?

    Aqua Sphere Eagles are pretty good.

    you order the lenses yourself, they go from -1.5 to -6 diopters, just have a look at your last optician script.

    You can get them from AquaSphere direct or from Wiggle

    Contacts aren't a good option for me unfortunately!

    I use speedo vanquisher optical, you can get them on amazon.
    I find them pretty good but they seem to wear out after about 5 months in the pool

    Having tried a few options including the Aquasphere Eagles i stumbled upon a site called myeyes.co.uk. They sell all kinds of glasses aswell as prescription goggles. I'm onto my 4th pair of View VPS 500A. Have been using those for several years now. The only reason i'm onto my 4th pair is that the silicon seems over time to degrade a bit and lately seems to be irritating the skin around my eyes. At least thats what i'm putting that irritation down to. Think theyre in .50 diopters. Currently £28.90. Cant see myself ever changing from them.
