Lasted two dives before the lens adhesive let lose. Followed directions exactly, even allowing the mask to set for 48 hours before use.

They work. For a while. The glue is not waterproof, and the lenses eventually fall off.

They don?t stay in place

Followed directions exactly. Cleaned mask/lenses, used templates provided and amount of glue required. Let sit for 48 hours. Lenses kept moving while glue was drying as required glue was too much in my opinion. After lenses dried, they seemed to be glued in pretty well. First two dives they stayed in place. When adding defog one of the lenses detached. The other one came off very easily when I pulled on the edge of the lens to remove it. I would suggest better/stronger glue. The clarity, power and size of the lenses was great, they just didn?t stay attache, otherwise they would be perfect.

Went exactly by the directions! First dive left lens floating. would not recommend this product.

They work, but I only could get one to stay in place, no matter what I did. In fact, all these years later, one is still attached and one is not. The one, doing its job, is really quite helpful to see details on tiny little sea creatures and it is not in the way for viewing things at a distance.

Work very well, but need to use glass glue. The glue that comes with the lenses does hold for the long term.

Worthless. Would not stay on the lens. Once exposed to sea water the glue released and the lenses fell out.

I need gauge readers and the "prescription" mask I got (for $333.00 USD) is a JOKE. NOT happy about that. But, these are a good compromise short of the "XS Scuba Gauge Reader Down View" mask. If I could try one for fit, I would likely just get one of those. BUT.... I have 5 back-up masks, so I will try these first and see how they work. I will be upgrading the adhesive though. I recommend Gorilla Super Glue Gel. just be careful to not trap bubbles. And use some weights to keep the lens pressed down while it sets. I used a could of 115gr 9mm projectiles...worked great.

Wouldnt be without one. Use it on the lower left side for reading instruments and camera settings. For a lasting seal, I use silicone on the edges.

These will allow you to read your dive computer. The glue doesn't last more than a couple of days of diving, but the lenses adhere to the mask without it. You can always reapply the glue if you are afraid you'll fill your mask with water and wash them out.

First dive they fall off inside mask.

These are amazing. Just make sure you keep the inside dry as much as you can. Don’t let it soak in water. While diving the water alone magnify what you see this helps for me as I use reading glasses. Helps me see the small details on dive computers.

Followed the directions exactly after only a couple of dives i found these magnifiers in the bottom of mask tank. The only seem to stick if kept dry.

Glue doesn't hold very well but works. If you can get the glue to hold they do the job.

Theses lender do not stick. Have used alcohol to clean before applying glue an followed instructions to the letter. Usually can move them around in mask after a dive. Oh to have a really good mask selection with corrective lenses, readers.

Best set of cheaters yet. Applied to mask easily and hasn't moved from placement after 8 dives.

I was so hopeful that these reading lenses would help me while scuba diving. During the very first snorkeling swim the glue began to fail. The adhesive stayed gooey so I removed them for the next scuba dive two days later.

First time out one side came loose the other is still in place will try to reflect the one that came loose as soon as possible !

We tried these in our masks and found out the hard way that this is not the way to go if you need vision help in a mask. If you really can't see without aid just go ahead and get a prescription mask.

These are easy to put in, and did work fine for me, though one fell out during a week's use and had to be re-glued (unsuccessfully; see below). A few hints that made them work better for me: Let the glue dry for at least 48 hours before using your mask; don't leave your mask in a bucket of water between dives; when you get out of the water make sure you tip any water out of the lenses; don't leave a damp mask in the sun. I recommend these in a pinch for your once-a-year dive vacation, but if you're a serious diver a custom mask is best.

Service and delivery from the store was great. When I contacted the manufacturer about the problem with the glue, he basically threw it back in my face and said that I probably didn't do it right. Never mind the fact that there are MANY other divers that had the same complaint (just look through the internet), and using a water base glue for diving is

I was expecting much better results in my visual acuity but the product failed to fulfill my expectations. I don't think it was the fault of the product itself but of the whole process of vision and distortion under water. The only possible improvement I can think would help is if the lense was larger. the negative comments made by other reviewers about the lenses falling out did not happen to me.

After 3 dives in Salt Water they came off the mask. They were good for 2 dives, the third, well, they came off.

This item will not stay attached to the mask for more than the first dive. Salt water compromises the glue. This make the product useless. Also, this product is glass, so if you do not know it is lose and it falls out of the mask, it will break on your boat deck, or you will lose it.

The product arrived in good condition. Unfortunately, both of my dive masks have curved lens. Given that the magnifier lens are made of glass, it cannot be bent to conform to the shape of the masks' lens. The fact that it was made of glass should have been the clue. The product may work if applied to a flat surface such as a single window dive mask. I will try the Optix 20/20 stick-on and return this product.

This product does not perform as advertised. If you really need help with vision spring for a good prescription lens mask.

Gluing them in was easy enough, and they did stay stuck for two days of diving. On the third day they started sliding around inside the mask. They were also a bit cloudy, rinsing by flooding the mask seemed to help. Overall, I would recommend getting a real prescription mask.

I have installed these lenses more than 7 or 8 times. I install them exactly as written in the instructions, but never-the-less, after every day of diving the lenses start moving around or fall off. I then have to clean the mask and lenses well, and glue the lenses back in place all over again. Then the next time I dive it happens all over again. The lens work fine as long as they stay on, but that's not for long.
