All Styles of Goggles for
Swimmers
The styles of goggles are always changing, and there are
hundreds of brands and models around the world. Sized for
children or adults, designed for oval or round eye sockets,
tinted, clear, hypoallergenic, prescription, or anti-fog, these
little things make opening your eyes underwater much more
comfortable. They also protect your eyes from corneal damage.

Prescription Swim Goggles
Goggles with optical corrective lenses for swimming
and other water sports. Important Note - These
Prescription Swim Goggles are designed for use in
recreational swimming and not for contact sports,
diving, water slides or for correcting vision while
operating any kind of vehicle! |

Swedish Style
Goggles with no gaskets are commonly known as Swedish
goggles. These are very popular, are very adjustable,
and can be inexpensive. Just make sure you are
comfortable with the feeling of the goggles edge around
your eyes. |

Foam Gasket Style
Adding foam gaskets can make goggle fit easier. It
softens the contact point between the goggles and your
skin and can conform to irregularities. However, the
shape and size of the goggle will affect how well they
fit (round, oval, big, small, etc.) and the foam could
separate from the goggle with age, making the goggle
useless. |
 |
Hard Rubber, Silicone, or Other Gasket Style
When the side portion of the goggle is manufactured from
a softer plastic the contact point between the goggles
and your skin can be softened by forming a gasket-like
seal out of this same material - an integrated gasket.
These work well for many people and avoid the problem of
gasket. |

Other Styles
There are many other types of goggles out there, from
scuba mask-like styles to goggles designed just for
kids. One of those might work for you, so consider them,
too. |
