I have "old" eyes and need a 1.5 magnification- are these goggles appropriate for my situation?

yes, they work fine for close "reading" type work like looking at your depth guage or camera settings

The goggles will give you extra fun to your vacation - my son had terrible vision and to young to use contacts, but this solution work perfectly!

Yes. I have wide set eyes, and have shared my binoculars with children. I can assure you these will adjust easily for a good range of eye widths.

Lily - I bought them and never used them. They are junk. You'd be way better off investing in a precision set of adjustable glasses like Superfocus.

I'm not sure. They come in standard "reader" strengths. I suppose you could take them to your optometrist to see if they can replace the standard lenses with your personal prescription.

They will focus fairly well, but will not do what I would consider 'zoom in' on an object. They acquire objects well, but if you are looking for real close up looks, then you will have to go with a 7x50 or even 10x50, and the additional cost associated with that, upwards of $500. As is, these are very nice compact binos that do a good job. I use them on the water and they pick out markers well and fit nicely in your jacket pocket

A barlow is fine. I use the GSO Barlow that actually gives you two magnification choices... http://agenaastro.com/gso-1-25-2x-achromatic-barlow-lens.html

I wish I had used this more, but my recollection is just the smaller loupe. No, I would not find it suitable for a 91 year with eye degeneration. I think it may be better to spend a little more money (if possible) to find something more comfortable & easier for reading. I bought this to use to look at antique beads, and even that I found difficult! Wish I could be more help, Lynne

I think my lens are one complete lens at -6. I don't know anything about magnification at the bottom. They are not for reading, so I think they are one complete lens at whatever you order. I am very happy with mine.

Unless you have ReallyBigHands or are a very accomplished athlete ( w really good grip. ) the 1.5's would work better for you.

Thank you. I have '80s size glasses. If goggles fit, then these should fit too.

I suppose they would be but they are very uncomfortable and rather awkward for any length of time. Better to have a stationary magnifier, not one that moves with your head.

I think they'll be fine, I have a somewhat large head I guess (not small) and these were actually a little too small on me. They're nice and sturdy, but I gave them to my dad bc of the fit and just ordered replacement lenses for my P17s.

Sorry, our lens only adjust single vision. If it is for snorkeling, bifocal/reader lenses are not necessary.

You're not doing anything wrong. The eye relief is very short for this magnifier. In order to get full sight picture your eye has to be that close.

Being sincere, I'm not sure if that prescription will fit on the glasses but mine are 1.85-1.65 and they do. You should consult a proffesional and ask him if it worth the risk because they change the way you do sports.

yes they are. I wear trifocals and can see the numbers quite clearly without my glasses. My reading glasses are 200

Try and buy one from Amazon that has a magnifier built in to the bottom half, they work great and are available in many optic strengths, the glasses are to close to your face, though at work we have glasses which do fit over regular glasses, hope this helps you, have a great and safe day.
