Swimming Goggles Glasses
Perfect vision goggles to swim underwater?

I have 19 years and have been wearing glasses since I was 5 years. I'm very nearsighted, and can not even see clearly when my own hand is 3 inches in front of my face. Any closer, it becomes more clear, but I have to go cross-eyed. Anyway, My question is regarding a bizarre incident that happened to me a few years ago while in a swimming pool. Do not swim much, but when I do, I still wear my lenses. I had some swimming goggles – nothing too special, just some regular glasses can be found at any sporting goods store – and I decided to put them on without my glasses. I was above the water and I could not see shit, but once under water I could see perfectly! I freaked. I mean I had to wear glasses resembling the base of a glass bottle, and yet when I started swimming goggles underwater simple and go in a pool, I see a perfect 20/20. So what's going on? Is it the water? Glasses? Thx,-X-

Ok this question is mind-boggling my mind lol! Its strange to be thinking about it and I can see almost perfect enough to see under water and with glasses, unless you really do not need any corrections. The glasses around the eyes with air and that is the refractive index are used. I know we did a pair of prescription glasses once a lady and the formula that we put on the glasses was a bit different then your usual recipe. I think because the index of refraction is different from the water and we are looking through it. I looked and did not have a pretty good explanation for that ….. better than I can explain lol "In order to see things clearly, the eyes must focus the light onto the retina. The human eye is marvelously adapted to this purpose – but it depends on your looking through air. Underwater, the shape and index of the lenses of his eyes is the same, but the rate of things out of the eyes (water) is now greater. As a result, no light is refracted so many things in his eyes, and focuses on a different place, so your vision is blurred. Fish, of course, their eyes are adapted to this, so we still can focus underwater. A fish out of water, in addition to their other problems, vision is blurred.
