 Amazing product & quick shipment July 27, 2008

For years it was a pain in the XYZ to get Rx swim goggles. I had an old and scratchy pair of speedos that finally broke. Parmel works just as advertised - you enter your prescription in the special drop down box, and Parmel gets the order and special-fills it for you.
The goggles arrived (from Canada) in a few days. They come in a nice hard plastic casing and the goggles themselves seem high quality. For me, the anti-fog coating is amazing (at least, the first week - don't know if the antifog effect lasts indefinitely.) I have no leakage problems but I am an amateur - puttering in pools with kids. if you have high nearsightedness (like -4, -6, -8) and have never tried these, you'll probably be very very glad you did. HINT - you can go a half step or a step less than your real prescription and it's still a huge improvement [for swimming] over nothing. You don't want to go more than your Rx strength, it is very unpleasant and straining. Example, if you are -6.5, -6 will be fine for swimming.

These goggles are OK.
They offer different prescriptions for each eye, which is what I was looking for.
I had a lot of trouble switching out the nosebridge on them and ended up wrecking the nosebridge I was trying to replace. The company was not very helpful when I contacted them about it. I finally did replace the nosebridge and achieved an OK fit, but now after about a year, the goggles keep coming apart at the nosebridge- not very pleasant while you're swimming.
Best ever goggles October 10, 2007

Swimming is my favourite past-time. However,I am almost blind without glasses and always felt uncomfortable in the water.These goggles have made swimming an absolute joy, especially as they are an exact replica of my regular glasses.Unlike other brands, each lens can be of a different strength.
What a difference! October 3, 2007

I wore these goggles for the first time yesterday. It is really nice to see in the water again! I used the medium nose bridge, but the nice thing is it comes with different sizes you can interchange. The googles have a nice, comfortable tight fit, and the straps are easily adjustable. I accidentally dropped it by the pool after swimming, but nothing happened to the lens. I had called my optometrist to get the closest diopter measurements, and he was impressed that they provide separate right and left eye options. With that information, I was able to get as close to my prescription as possible, and I can see really well in the water.
fits well and looks great August 1, 2007

Worked as advertised. I guess you get what you pay for in this instant.
