    There are prescription dive masks. Even without needing glasses driving rain has been a problem. I had my hood down so I could see out of one eye, but the rain was filling my eye so fast I could no longer see. I think every boat who is planning cruising should have a dive mask to check out things below.

    I went with monovision. First with one contact to correct for distant
    vision; my near vision is OK. Later went with Lasik on the same eye to
    eliminate prescription glasses/contacts completely. That works for me.

    Friends who have been caught out in severe weather have successfully used
    swimming goggles to protect face and glasses. Water-shedding chemicals will
    work on those.
