Post by Toy »

Are there any optics that make swimming glasses with strength in the area?

What do you mean by strength?
Durability?

Do you want goggles or glasses?

Pretty sure this refers to swimming goggles with optical corrective lenses. If I'm not mistaken, one of the stores in BlúPort has them.

Just out of interest, why would this be important in a swimming pool?
Are you a cataract sufferer?

I guess everybody's different, but being able to see properly is always important to me, whether I'm in a swimming pool or walking along the street.

I have swimming goggles with corrective lenses. If I don't have them on I feel extremely ill-at-ease in and around the pool - I just can't make things out clearly (people's faces, for instance).

Incidentally, corrective lenses don't help with cataracts.

Cataract sufferers are stiil advised to wear googles when swimming though.
