Most dive shops can get this done.
You pick a mask that fits and they send it off with your prescription
numbers and get lenses stuck to the inside of the glass. I'm on my
second one now.

You probably need to talk to somebody who knows the ropes not
the DM intern serving behind the counter.

Default Re: Recommendations for prescription mask

Thanks Nigel. Any suggestions on dive shops which would be able to do this
with a rapid turnaround (probably 2-3 weeks max given I can only go out
shopping at weekends)?

I was thinking this might make it tough hence why I'm also looking for
internet recommendations. Have found one or two through Google but would be
interested in anyone's personal recommendations.

I'm also not so keen on the corrective stick on lenses (I'm was told this
isn't an option on my astigmatism). My last pair I had lenses specially
made - but admittedly I was living in Asia at the time where perhaps it was
easier.
