Rating: Easy to install, easy to remove
Reviewer: David S., Thursday, February 17, 2011
My order for Dive Optx arrived promptly. The instructions contained in the package were easy to follow. I installed the Dive Optx without any difficulty. They are hard to see during installation - if you wear reading glasses, wear your glasses while installing the product. Diving with them allowed me to instantly see and interpret icons on my dive computer and camera, observe and identify smaller sea life and features that I missed before. I removed the Optx for some dives, where I would be touring, rather than examining, as I found the lenses a little disorienting. When swimming along, I continually had the sense that I was going over a ridge because of the focus change in my lower peripheral vision. However, they easily reinstalled for the next dive where we would be looking a smaller features. I plan on trying my next dive installing the lens for only one eye. The price was right, they perform precisely as advertised, and the ease of installation and removal was simple.

Rating: Dive Optix 2.00
Reviewer: Charles C. Plumley, Friday, January 07, 2011
The Dive Optix 2.o is a good buy and does work under normal conditions when following all the Instructions on the box. However, I found that they are too small and should be larger in length to fit Dive masks more properly. I will still use them in my mask be cause of the needed magnification. Thank you , Charles C. Plumley

Rating: Really works!
Reviewer: DAVID OLIVER, Saturday, July 03, 2010
Used the 1.75 diopter and they worked great. They were a little tricky installing. Let dry for two days before using. Used them for four dives and had no problems. It was nice to be able to read gauges again. David Oliver

Rating: Let them dry REALLY well
Reviewer: Thomas Grugle, Thursday, June 24, 2010
Not easy to install at all. Directions say to let them dry 24 hours before use. I did that and promptly lost one the instant the mask got wet. After letting it dry for two weeks, the one remaining lens works well and has stayed put. Before you buy, remember that water has a diopter or so of plus in and of itself (which is why things look closer than they are). So you may not need reading lenses underwater at all.

Rating: Good Optics
Reviewer: kirk moellenberg, Thursday, April 01, 2010 - View all my reviews
This is the second set I have purchased.Lost the first set after my other half took a garden hose to my mask after a night dive,whoops! If you follow the directions,they stay in. A little patience and they work well. Can see my computer and camera now.Cheaper than replacement lenses and you can change them as your eyes change.

Rating: Attachable Reading Lenses
Reviewer: Bradley A., Sunday, December 06, 2009
I recently purchased the attachable reading lenses (+2.0) for my diving mask. They were easy to install and worked perfectly on two dives I made this past weekend. I am very satisfied with the product. Brad Matthews

Rating: An inexpensive solution to corrective lenses
Reviewer: Diane H., Monday, November 02, 2009 - View all my reviews
i put these in a mask with in corrective lenses to give me bifocals for guage reading. it takes some time to get the lenses installed and positioned correctly, but they do seem to adhere quite well. i loosened one applying anti-fog after several dives, but it still made it through the dive - just be careful as you rinse.

Rating: Dive Optx 1.5
Reviewer: Peter Markle, Friday, August 21, 2009
Works great! A very easy, cost effective way for a 61 year old far sighted person to be able to read my gauges. After several uses, I did remount them to get rid of some air spaces (I probably didnt get all the air out when I first installed them), but this was very easy.

Rating: Trident dive optx for dive masks
Reviewer: Mark Purtle, Wednesday, July 29, 2009 - View all my reviews
I wear contact lenses but cannot use bifocal variety due to astigmatism. However, this makes reading my gauges very difficult. Rather than purchasing expensive prescription lenses for my mask, I tried the Trident dive optx to allow reading of the gauges while wearing contacts. They were very easy to apply to the mask and can be removed to be placed in other masks. They worked very well for the purpose designed. Would recommend definitely.
