Yes, those are the ones I got which didn&amp;#39;t fit. I have a rather large head. I just ordered the stick-ons, so I&amp;#39;ll let y&amp;#39;all know next week how they work.&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Positive diopter goggles</title><link>https://community.usms.org/thread/203565?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Wed, 03 Jan 2018 04:18:28 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:3c369c4c-497a-4625-8035-a181494cc0ec</guid><dc:creator>67King</dc:creator><description>These are the goggles I use, but I don&amp;#39;t use a prescription lens.

I can find negative diopter goggles, but nothing that fits well and is comfortable.  So I can read my watch but not the whiteboard.  My solution is to keep my ill fitting optical goggles on the pool deck and then hold them against my face to read the white board.  Then I put my good goggles back on to swim.  You could probably do the same with your ill fitting goggles or even keep cheap dollar store reading glasses on the pool deck. In my quest to find good fitting optical goggles, I have seen several unfamiliar brands that come in positive strengths, but who knows about the quality...&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Positive diopter goggles</title><link>https://community.usms.org/thread/203546?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Tue, 02 Jan 2018 04:13:17 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:50871928-c1d7-40b9-94b3-5662a2028c11</guid><dc:creator>Sumorunner</dc:creator><description>&lt;a href="http://optx2020.com/p-2-hydrotac-stick-on-bifocal-reading-lenses-consumer.aspx"&gt;optx2020.com/p-2-hydrotac-stick-on-bifocal-reading-lenses-consumer.aspx&lt;/a&gt;

They&amp;#39;re plastic so if they&amp;#39;re too big I presume they could be trimmed to fit.

Have any other links to that product?  The firewall here at work is blocking the link you gave.&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Positive diopter goggles</title><link>https://community.usms.org/thread/203536?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Tue, 02 Jan 2018 01:17:21 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:1bc0b24f-edbe-47cf-9c63-567f7e81f62c</guid><dc:creator>ForceDJ</dc:creator><description>I heard about these stick-on bifocal lenses and have been meaning to get some and see how they work in swim goggles.
