Everyone knows that swimming with blurred vision is no fun and can be hazardous. Bouncing from lane rope to lane rope isn’t the way any of us want to spend our time in the water. If you wear glasses or contacts now is the time to give optical goggles a try. Both Speedo and TYR offer great optical goggle options that also feature UV protection and Anti-Fog coating.

TYR Corrective Optical Goggle

The Speedo Vanquisher Optical goggles and Speedo Jr. Vanquisher Optical goggles come in corrective diopters from -1.5 to -8.0. These are available in both smoke and clear colors for both indoor and outdoor use. Speedo Vanquisher Optical goggles are a great choice if you like a close fitting goggle that fits right in your eye socket.

TYR Corrective Optical goggles feature optical grade corrective diopters from -2.0 to -8.0. TYR’s option is better if you prefer a more wide angle goggle that fits more around the eye rather than right in the eye socket. TYR Optical goggles are also available in both smoke and clear colors.
