Sorry for the delayed response. I wasn't allowed to post right away.

Off-the-shelf prescription goggles have come down in price quite a bit, but they are generally only available in one prescription for both eyes, and the corrective lenses are only available in half-steps. Not a great solution for me, especially considering how quickly goggles get scratched up and lose their anti-fog coating, necessitating replacement.

For all of you on this thread who say that swimming with contact lenses is the answer, you need to read/watch these news stories:

Please don't swim with your contact lenses in. If you just need to see the pace clock, I have a better solution for you.

PaceWatch is a slim pace clock for your wrist that is simple to use and easy to read. I've been using mine for over a year, and I love it.

If you just want to be able to see people's faces (or other features) at the other end of the pool, sorry. I can't help you there.
