Not sure if it's any help, but I got my prescription mask through my optician (a family business, not a chain like D&A or Specsavers etc). He knew all about the optical side of ordering a mask with lenses to my exact prescription in it. No hassle at all - turnaround time about three weeks, cost about £250.

I didn't get any choice about the mask (a Typhoon one, don't know the model), but luckily it seems to be pretty good - it's a good fit and has worn well over the last three years. My vision in it is perfect; as good as with my normal glasses, and I have a fairly strong prescription (about -10 dioptres in each eye, quite strong astigmatism too).

Try giving your local 'brass plate' optician a call... it might be easier than you'd think to have them sort it out for you.
