I have very poor eyesight. When I put on goggles or a diving mask, I can see great underwater. It seems like the goggles and mask in combination with the water actually causes a magnification effect, similar to wearing glasses. The problem is that after just a short while I start getting motion sickness, and I don't know what to do about it. I love being in the water and snorkling, but I avoid it now because of the motion sickness. Even swimming laps in a pool will cause it. If I swim laps without the goggles I seem to do okay but my eyes get clobbered by the clorine and it is bothersome not to be able to see the bottom or the end of the pool.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Also what about prescription goggles, wouldn't that even increase the magnification effect of the water that much more?
Thanks
Great that they were able to isolate the problem for you :applaud:.
The ear plugs should help, I guess you just need to get used to them. Like goggles there are a bunch outthere. Check with an ear, nose and throat doctor maybe they can make a reccomendation. I just got a new pair of Speedo Vanquisher opitcals ( -7.0 diopter in both eyes - can't see squat without my glasses) and they are the best - they actually made the pool area brighter - for $14 you can't beat them.
Good luck
