The order taker took my request, but entered SV's Guage Reader mask. Fortunately, after I faxed in my script, they called to ask if I wanted Guage Readers or Full Bi-Focals.
(1) SV Guage reader masks, if I understand correctly, have regular lens except for the lower area - which are magnifiers. Looks the same a Bi-Focal mask, but works like the half lens reading glasses out of water.
(2) For $20+ more, you can get your prescriptions for the viewing area and the reading area both.
Even if one only uses the half lens reading glasses otherwise, you might consider requesting a Bi-Focal prescription to order a BF mask.
Yeah I know: I've been branded a non-group person - doesn't play well with others. I am so upset. Let me know if you want to have some fun, without the drama - I'm good for that.

Q: How long should I wait before going back into the water after Lasik surgery and what other effects might there be?
A: The Lasik laser procedure is performed many thousands of times each year. Risks are reported to be minimal and improvement in vision is said to be considerable. The physician performing the procedure will provide you with recommendations for activity following Lasik surgery. In general, it's suggested that you can return to all of your normal activities without disrupting the healing process in two weeks. However there is no specific data on when it's safe to return to diving, nor has there been any research on the effects of a mask squeeze and the negative pressure it can create on an eye that has had this procedure.
Considering the lack of specific data, in uncomplcated cases, a conservative recommendation would be to wait an extra two weeks to allow the eye extra healing time.

From diving? None at all! My only issue was caused by excessive dryness- my surgery was delayed a couple of weeks & my improved vision was not instantly noticeable. It took several months for my right eye to get to where it is now.And no problems Marvel?I was told to wait at least a month when I had mine. Of course, I waited until the diving season was nearly over to have it done anyway.
