Tough time seeing the clock

i use prescription goggles made by Hilco. They are awesome. A friend at an optical shop got them for me, but as pointed out here, you can order direct from the various makers if you know your prescription. if you have your prescription in hand you can contact the makers, give them the complete prescription and them can choose the best option for you. (and they are not at all expensive .... $30 for mine) be, jim My big fear is that after ordering my prescription goggles they will turn out to be of the type/make/model/fit that leaks. In another thread "How many goggles do you use per workout?", if memory serves, I mentioned that I tried more than a dozen different goggles (makes/models) until I found two or three that woudl/might not leak depending on which side of my face I woke up on, that morning. Plus, I use bifocals (distance for, well, distance such as the wall-clock and reading for wrist-watch) and I use a -3rd- different prescriptions for the computer; farther than a wristwatch but much closer than the pool's wall-clock. On top of all that, after my Retinal Detachment surgery, I have double-double vision; vertically and horizontally. Therefore without glasses (and still sober), I see -and hazily at that- four of everything. This makes for very crowded lanes. Do I go for the gap between the two innermost twins? Or do I go for the gap between the 1st and 2nd swimmer (also twins) from the left (my lazy eye side)? And what story will they believe when they call the powers-that-be and accuse me of public groping? Guess I'll have to order trifocal (or quintuplifocal) prescription goggles if I also want to be able to look at the beautiful faces of some female swimmers who are resting the same time as I am, on the same wall...... forget about across the pool. Now the question is: should I post this and see security increased at my pool? Seriously: I think I'm going to have to ask my favourite goggle brand (TYR, so far) how much would I need to sell my firstborn for. Hope to bump into some of the US MS or C MS swimmers/users soon (not too hard). Cheers
