I searched the forums for this answer, but had no luck with the specifics. I need corrective goggles in the (+) plus diopter range...plus 2 to be exact. I only found one goggle offered online that is a positive diopter...for farsighted people. Corrective goggles are all over the place online, but they are for nearsighted people...almost exclusively. I tried a very bulky +2 goggle lens and it provided very clear vision, but they are not good racing goggles. Ideally, I would like to get the Speedo Vanquisher goggle in my prescription. These are my favorite google for comfort and fit. Thanks in advance.

I should clarify that I can't see anything clearly without my glasses...near or far in distance. Between the two, my near vision is much worse than my far vision. I can get along in the pool without corrective goggles, I just can't see the second hand of the pace clock that well and people's faces at a distance are too blurry for recognition. I go by shapes. :) So you would think the negative diopter goggle would be the fix, but it isn't. When I compared the plus 2 and the negative 2 diopter, the plus 2 won out. Go figure. Thanks.
