F&Q

1. Can you wear contact lenses underwater?

No, it is strongly discouraged. Wearing contact lenses while swimming, snorkeling, or diving poses significant risks. Pool chemicals and ocean bacteria can easily become trapped behind the lens, leading to severe eye irritation, infections, or the loss of your lenses altogether. MAREE optical eyewear completely eliminates the need for contacts by integrating your exact prescription directly into the lenses.

2. How do I select the correct prescription (diopter) for my vision?

Simply choose the exact diopter strength matching your nearsightedness (myopia) from the dropdown menu on the product page. If you wear prescription glasses, select the corresponding negative value (e.g., -2.0, -3.0).
Note: If your eyes require different prescriptions, we recommend selecting the lower matching diopter for each respective eye.

3. Will the lenses fog up during my swim or dive?

No. Every MAREE lens is treated with a high-grade, integrated anti-fog coating. To preserve pristine optical clarity over time, simply rinse your eyewear with clean fresh water after every session and allow them to air-dry naturally. Avoid wiping the inner lenses with fingers or towels.

4. Are these products suitable for open-water ocean use, or only for swimming pools?

They are engineered for uncompromising performance in both environments. Whether you are swimming laps in a chlorinated pool, freediving, or exploring open-ocean coral reefs, our UV-protected lenses and watertight silicone seals deliver maximum clarity and comfort anywhere.

5. How should I protect and store my optical eyewear?

Because these are precision optical lenses, we strongly recommend storing them inside a MAREE™ Premium Hard Protective Case after every use. Tossing unprotected optical gear loose into a beach bag or sports backpack can easily scratch the lenses or warp the frame.

6. How do I ensure a secure, leak-proof fit?

Every MAREE design features a 100% hypoallergenic liquid silicone skirt or gasket that flexes and molds effortlessly to the contours of your face. Paired with our intuitive, micro-adjustable strap systems, they create a reliable, airtight seal designed for virtually any face shape.
