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.

I've been using Speedo and/or WaterGear optical goggles for several years. I have a pair of WaterGears now that have lasted about a year, so far. They cost about $30 and they're available by mail order from World Wide Aquatics (www.worldwideaquatics.com). I've also used the Speedo goggles which cost about $25 or $30 (not $190, as your optometrist said) -- they don't seems to last as long as WaterGears.
Both come in diopters from -1.0 to -8.0, but as another poster said you have to buy two pair to mix and match diopters (I've never felt any need for that though, even though my glasses have two different strengths).
