Anyone use Speedo Vanquisher prescription goggles?

I want to get some but my prescription is different in each eye and they don't offer my exact prescription, but I guess it's cheaper and better than what I have now. My right eye is -3.75 and my left eye is -4.25.

Should I buy a -4.0 OR buy two pairs, one with -3.5 and one with -4.0 and then mix and match them? How awful would it be if it wasn't exact? The goggles are only $20.

Which eye is your dominant eye? Since your prescriptions are relatively close, I would just go with what is best for your dominant eye. After all, you're not going to be driving or performing brain surgery while wearing goggles, so it's OK if your vision isn't perfect.

Side note: I didn't even know prescription goggles were a thing. I wear contacts and regular goggles for swimming. But I'm far sighted in one eye and near sighted in the other, so Rx goggles would be freaking weird for me.

I don't swim, but I work for an ophthalmology group!

I'd just get the -3.75 or -4.00. Same for each eye. There's not a lot of difference between your eyes, really. It's a 2 step difference- not a lot!

I wear vanquisher opticals. Something you'll need to be aware of is that they fog like CRAZY - WAY more than my regular vanquishers. So you'll need to go heavy on the foggle or baby shampoo or your defogger of choice. I'd probably split the difference, script-wise and go with the 4.00

I ended up getting a clear pair and a smoked pair, both -4.0. We'll see if it makes a difference swimming in open water.
