  • Hyperopia, or farsightedness, have more difficulty seeing near objects as clearly as distant objects.
  • Astigmatism is a distortion of the image on the retina caused by irregularities in the cornea or lens of the eye.
  • People over the age of forty also suffer from increased difficulty in reading. This condition is called presbyopia.
  • Cataracts form cloudy areas on the eye lens and reduce vision.

UV Protection

Anti-Fog
 
Anti-fog models are treated using the most advanced coatings available today. Anti-fog lenses provide excellent optical clarity for all swimming conditions.
Note:
Anti-fog inner lens coatings should never be rubber or scratched as this will render the treatment ineffective. Do not use anything to clean inner surfaces that will scratch the surface. Rinse goggles in fresh water after every usage and air-dry. From time to time it is suggested to use the anti-fog spray to keep your goggles clean and reduce 'film build-up' on the inner surface which will lessen the effectiveness of the anti-fog treatment and also reduce the optical clarity of your swim goggles.
