Ready Power
Who This Is For
At −5.00 you are significantly short-sighted. Without correction, functional distance vision on land is difficult. In water, the pool is a featureless blue — lane lines, walls, clocks, and other swimmers all lost to blur. Swimmers at this power who have been managing without correction, or relying on contacts in the pool, know how much they are missing. −5.00 is a ready power. You do not need a custom order.
Choosing Your Power
📋 Power Selection Guide
If your prescription is exactly −5.00, this is a direct match. If you are at −4.75, consider −4.50 or −5.00. If you are at −5.25, see our −5.50 page. At powers this strong, the 0.50 difference between adjacent steps is optically noticeable — choosing the closest available power is worth the extra attention.
What to Expect With Correction
Swimmers at −5.00 often describe the first session with correction as genuinely revelatory. The pool, which had been an experience of managed blur, becomes a clearly defined space. Lane markers are sharp, the turning wall is visible early, and swimming with pace clock awareness becomes possible for the first time. At this power, correction does not just improve the swim — it changes what swimming feels like.

Questions About −5.00 Power Goggles
−5.00 is a ready power in our adults range — no custom production required. Subject to availability. WhatsApp us to confirm stock before ordering.
No. −5.00 is well within our ready range, which goes up to −9.00. Many swimmers with prescriptions at −5.00 and above have been incorrectly told their power is not available. It is available here.
It is not dangerous in a supervised pool, but it is significantly limiting — and potentially a safety concern in busy pools or open water where not seeing other swimmers or the pool edge clearly is a real issue. Correction at this power makes a meaningful safety difference, not just a comfort one.
