Having eyesight problems shouldn't prevent you from discovering the wonders of the seabed. Whether you're short-sighted, long-sighted, astigmatic or presbyopic, today there are simple, effective solutions to help you enjoy scuba diving to the full, in complete safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The short answer is no. As long as your eyesight is corrected or adapted, diving is perfectly possible. The only constraint is to ensure good perception of the environment: reading instruments, communicating by sign, seeing landforms and partners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Some people with mild myopia or presbyopia can even see better underwater, thanks to the natural magnification effect of the mask. But that's not always enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is the most precise solution for everyday spectacle wearers. Two types are available:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- Masks with standard optical lenses (preset from -1 to -8 dioptres)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- Custom-made corrective lens masks, made to your prescription<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They guarantee clear, stable vision underwater, without compromising on water-resistance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can dive with contact lenses, but be careful:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- Always use soft lenses (never rigid)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- Avoid opening your eyes underwater without a mask<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- Bring a spare pair in case of loss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- Be careful when scuba diving (risk of drying out)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It's a simple and economical solution, but one that requires a little practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are also optical inserts that are attached to the inside of the mask.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- Less expensive than a full-face mask<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- Suitable for light to moderate corrections<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- Can be glued or clipped on for easy replacement<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yes, of course. These problems can also be corrected with special lenses in masks. Some models even offer combined correction: distance and near vision, so you can read instruments while observing the environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- Test your underwater vision with a simple mask<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- Consult an optician or diving professional familiar with this type of request.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- Don't wait until you're on the road to try out your equipment<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- Start in calm, clear, shallow conditions to build your confidence<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Diving is perfectly possible, even with imperfect vision. All you need to do is adapt your equipment. And if you have any doubts, talk to your instructor: professional centers know exactly how to handle such cases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
