If you need the bifocals for gauge reading then it would be worth the cost. Your correction is fairly high so you could use it, but if you are simply looking for a mask for snorkeling or scuba diving then you should be ok with out the bifocal corrections. Also water magnifies by 25% so that may be an option as well for you. Please advise and I hope I have helped.
Happy Diving,

The only manufacturer that has an off the shelf bifocal is Seadive (also known as sea venture)
http://www.onlinescuba.com/Seaventure-Bifocal-Lenses-2-Window-Dive-Mask-P2352.aspx
Otherwise that is a custom grind lens that can be found here

Hey There,
As far as off the shelf lenses go I am afraid that we cannot get them any longer. So, not no rather maybe, if you can find a supplier that still has the lenses.
Thanks,

Re: Prescriptive lens
Do we use the "Sphere" or "Cylinder" readings? Also if a -3.75 reading, do we choose -3.5 or -4.0?

Hello, not being an optometrist I would suggest that you fax us your prescription and we will have them looked over and the appropriate version chosen for you. Keep in mind that astigmatism does affect the vision as well water column magnification.

Hi There,
Lenses can be installed by you as long as you are careful about popping out the lens holders. What I mean is that it does entail some skill but as long a you carefully do it folks have had no problems. I will say that corrections -7 or thicker tend to be a bit of a challenge. If needed you can send the mask to us and we can do it for no extra charge.
Thanks,
Bill

Hi, Thanks for your question. Unless the mask description says there are corrective lenses for that mask, they are not available. However if you want RX lenses made for your mask, then we have an optometrist that makes them and installs them in your mask. Your provide us with your prescription and we get you a quote for the lenses. It can be anywhere from $175-375 depending on your RX and any astigmatism, etc. Then because you did not buy the mask from us we charge a small handling fee to make the transaction happen. Turnaround time is usually 1-2 weeks once you have sent us your mask. I hope this is helpful. Wendy, Customer Service, 1-866-728-2293

I am not able to dive anymore due to a medical condition, but am getting back into snorkeling.
I own a Seadive SeaVenture mask and am interested in purchasing drop-in corrective lenses for it.
My questions are: are the lenses difficult to install, and if I order them do they come with some type of instructions / tools? Thanks!

Hi Randy, Yes these lenses are available for this mask with negative corrections. While our Instructor thinks it's easy to change out the lenses, you will need to be comfortable with popping the lense holders out and not cracking them, so there is some skill involved with this task. We would recommend sending the mask to us when you place your order and we'll install them and send your mask back to you.
We hope you find this helpful. Thanks, Wendy, Customer Service, 1-866-728-2293

Hi,
Thanks for your question. There is no replacement part for your mask. I asked our Optometrist if the lenses could be moved to a new mask and he said that is not possible and that you would have to start over. Depending on when purchased your mask, it may still be under manufacturer warranty. If you have any other questions, please let us know.
Thanks

I have an old Scubapro mask (24-181-000), probably from the 1980s. It has replaceable prescription lenses that I finally need to replace. I'd need OD -3.75 and OS -4.5.
If new lenses for the mask aren't possible, I also have the original plain glass lenses that could be swapped in.
Thanks for your help figuring this out!

Thank you for your question. Individual lenses of either plus or minus can be purchased individually however some companies do not offer the negative lenses depending on the mask you will be using the lenses. If plus or negative need to be in the same lens you will need a custom ground lens. Please contact us with your prescription if you need further assistance. Happy Diving, Cizon, Customer Service
