I searched the forum, but didn't find a thread on this topic. Anyone out there have goggles with corrective lenses? Where did you get them? Were they resonably priced. I just got back from the eye doctor and was told I could get a pair of Speedo Sprints for $190! I can get the non-corrective Sprints for $6 locally. Thanks.

keep sounding like a salesperson BUT Barracuda does have corrective lens goggles. They list, in their catalog, their "Standard" with an RX price of $63. This was last year but still less than $190. I'm not sure if they'd make one eye one thing and the other another. Diopters of -1.00 to -8.00 are available.
Even their Medalist line is $52.50 for RX.

Sometimes opticians also sell swim goggles and can custom grind the lens to your exact rx. Probably more expensive BUT if your eyes don't "match" then you get a better "view" of the pool! These aren't usually Speedo brand (at least not at my optician).
I've had good luck with just the plain Barracuda off the shelf, everyone can purchase models without correction. Yeah--I can't recognize you if you're at the other end of the pool or change your suit--BUT I can see the bottom of the pool and my watch!
