choice of prescription freedive mask

[jpma]

Hi All,

I'm looking around for freedive or low volume mask but with the chance for prescription,

as I know some very low volume mask like sphera aqualung can't go for any custom prescription at all.

I'm sure there must be some here who at least, need prescription to see in water.

what are you choice?

currently, I'm using the Cressi Focus
a normal one, but finding it hard to pinch my nose,
I've got small nose, asian.

maybe I should look for one with softer silicon instead.

I suppose that cressi minima would be possible for prescription lenses. It's one of the the best low volume masks, and I think it fits well with small faces

I know a few divers that use contact lenses and it works OK for me but that might be a no-no for the doctor.

thanks for the reply,

I'm wonder would Minima be easy to pinch my nose, have to try out somewhere.

no-no contacts for me too.

i have tried three now: mares Xvision - great, durable, good viz., amazingly low volume for it's size, clunky. Cressi Ocean eyes - looks like crap, huge volume, can't use

the best by miles is the micromask by technisub or aqualing and have an optician install optical lenses in there OVER the originals. Cheaper than the above two also.

thank you, micromask with the possibility for custom lens sounds great
what about pinching for equalize?, soft silicon?

I found this topic here,
Technisub Micromask - Page 5 - Freedive Spearfishing Forum

that the mask is so low volume that you have to trim your eyelash,
how did it go for you,Azapa?

plus your custom lens inside the mask, the volume and the space beside your eyes should be very close?

i was perfect for me, no eyelash trim!
