Depth Diving Goggles - Apnea lenses?

[Kman]

Hey Trux,

For sure, all credit to Eric for the idea. I dont want to take anything away from him at all. Without his pioneering ways we would still be seaching for tags with eyes closed

I just wanted to be clear that I had done my own research and executed my own ideas around the goggles I build to ensure that they are not considered copies or even comparable to what Eric offers.

I always use my soft contact lenses (-6.0D) while wearing fluid goggles, and I have never had a problem. Wearing contact lenses has little or no effect on the 'power' of the goggle. Similarly, myopia has little or no effect, since myopia is a mismatch between the corneal curvature and the axial length, and underwater the cornea has virtually no power, so there is no mismatch.

In 2001 I produced a lower profile goggle similar to Kerian's, and I only shipped one unit, and the customer returned it as he was unhappy that he could not see above the water. So I concentrated my efforts on goggles which offer vision above & below the water.

Is that so? Cool. I think I'm going to get me one of the new googles which can see both above and below. Thanks!
