For more than three decades, SeaVision has been committed to one mission: bringing true optical-quality vision to the underwater world. Long before “prescription dive masks” became a buzzword in the industry, our team—born from a full-service optical lab—was already perfecting the science of prescription lenses for masks and goggles. Seeing clearly underwater isn’t a luxury; it’s essential. And at SeaVision, we’ve made it our specialty.

At SeaVision USA, we specialize in crafting precision prescription lenses for scuba and snorkel masks, bringing the same high standards used in traditional eyeglasses to the world beneath the waves. But one of the most common questions we hear is: “Why can’t SeaVision make Rx lenses for single-lens masks?”

It’s a fair question—and one that has everything to do with the way prescription lenses are manufactured.

The underwater world is a breathtaking realm of vibrant coral, exotic marine life, and mesmerizing seascapes. However, as divers descend deeper, the brilliant colors of the ocean begin to fade, leaving behind a world dominated by shades of blue and green. This phenomenon is not a flaw of the ocean but rather a fundamental aspect of underwater physics. At SeaVision USA, we specialize in color-correcting lenses that restore the true beauty of the deep. But how exactly does our technology work, and why do colors disappear beneath the waves? Let’s dive in.

Shopping for a dive mask online can feel daunting, especially when dealing with a custom-made product that isn’t refundable and can be relatively expensive. But don’t let that stop you—it can be done! With the right guidance, you can find a dive mask that fits perfectly, no matter your face shape or size.

Understanding eyeglass prescriptions can be confusing, and ordering the right lenses for your needs can be daunting. To help, we’ve explained the differences between our lens offerings and why they may or may not be suitable for your underwater activities.

Before you jump in with SeaVision's custom prescription dive masks or swim goggles, it is important to know the products that we offer and which products are most beneficial to your underwater visual needs.
