Tried & Tested

Aqua Sphere has come up with a goggle which it believes offers protection from water and good all-round vision all in a comfortable package. So for Optician editor Chris Bennett, training for an Ironman triathlon, the opportunity to test out the goggle was too good an opportunity to miss.

The Aqua Sphere Eagle prescription swimming goggle has a curved lens which offers a 180-degree view. This is double most traditional designs, claims Aqua Sphere. The lenses are easily interchangeable and replacements are available in powers between -1.5 and -6.0. Aqua Sphere says Eagle is the first swimming goggle with interchangeable curved lenses.
