Do you need them to see or just for the fine print on gauges/computer/camera?
XS Scuba makes a gauge reader mask that I need for the camera.
There are mask that have pop out lens you can change or go for a perscription mask. I haven’t used either of those options so I can’t help.
Beware of stick on lens, they come off in the rinse bucket :(

thanks for the reply...
i guess i kinda need them to see...i am "required" to wear them to drive...i wear progressive lenes with an astigmatism in 1 eye. the gauge reader mask may work for the other eye. i’ll check out xs scuba.
i had read that about the stick on lenses.

I have a prescription mask, but it was years ago that I had it done, so don’t remember the company - just know that I LOVE IT! Don’t have to worry about my contacts and can see all the wonders! One of my friends is checking into now so if I get any information I will pass along to you.

This is a company located in San Diego. I had them put a set of readers into my mask about 4 years ago. They did a great job. I’ve got over 200 dives on that mask now and they are fantastic. As soon as I find a a spare mask I’m having them set it up also. http://www.prescriptiondivemasks.com/

Also, I had Lasik surgery. My distance vision is great, but I still needed the readers to see my guages and camera screen. Unfortunately as we get older our vision just doesn’t adjust from far to near as well. Good luck.

I have used optical masks that the dive shops rent out, these will work Ok, best bet is to do what I did, go to your local dive shop, pick a mask that fits really good, and have the shop send it in with your prescription for custom lenses. I paid over 200 bucks, but worth every penny.
