Can you see clear underwater without goggles on?
Sometimes I go underwater without goggles and while my eyes are burning and I can't see shit myself, I was wondering how many people can see fishes, coral or the bottom of the sea clearly without having to wear them.
I don't recommend it of course, but theoretically, if you have high myopia you might see clear under water.
The interface between the water and the cornea will have a much lower index of refraction than the interface between the air and the cornea. So the optical power should be reduced.
I can't try it out much of course, because I also wear lenses. And you?

I also wear lenses and rarely go all the way under water anyway. I prefer to see life above water. Or in a documentary.
I tried it countless of times and after a while you get used to having bad sight underwater. It's not recommended to do it for long periods of time but yeah I didn't listen either. 😂

Underwater isn't for me, so for me it's 100% a “No” 😂
I can't dive. Only have degree A and can only swim a little bit on the stomach. On the back, I can't swim at all, I drop to the bottom. That is, but I'm sure that's not diving. I'm also not a water rat at all. I always like to see those dive videos, but it doesn't really bother me to do it myself.
In the old days, before I needed glasses, I could look into an underwater pool without diving goggles. Nowadays I own prescription diving goggles, because without glasses (above water) I see sharp up to 20cm.
Theoretically, it is possible. Rescuers also do not wear diving goggles in a swimming pool and must be able to see underwater, but it is not ideal.
No, I can't see and I don't recommend it either, I don't wear glasses but I think it's better to wear the diving mask
I can see underwater without problem it does not cause me problems I think it does in the end irritation but no more than hah
A lot of people usually see well underwater! Wow, that's not my case, I wear a mask to submerge, yeah.! You don't have to have very advanced material to see fish and corals
My eyesight gets weird under the sea I think it's the result of saline water so I don't know it looks good under the sea
I can see by the depth of the sea for a few minutes clearly but my eyesight is harmed by it when you put red eyes
No, my eyesight is obscured by the amount of salt generated, I prefer to go with a team to search is the best
I don't wear lenses I don't have problems with eyesight but it's interesting to know that people with myopia being underwater have that visual effect,
I can see better when I wear such glasses to see underwater, but whether in the sea oh pool seeing underwater irritates my eyes
It also depends on whether it is salty sea water or fresh water, if it is cloudy or a little more crystalline, but if the fact of myopia under water is interesting I didn't know. Thank you for sharing.
It makes it difficult for me to see under water @The Q&Animatables as you can see I also wear glasses and without them it's not much what I appreciate
I don't wear glasses but this interesting fact about high myopia reacting to this environment underwater. Thank you for sharing.
I also have a lot of difficulty being able to see under water, my eyes tend to burn, avoiding having them open for a long time
Certainly without a mask it is difficult to see clearly, in addition to some impurities or water salt, the eyes are mistreated and it is even worse
I have been quite difficult to be underwater and be able to see without a diving mask, only once I tried it and I didn't like it I didn't see anything
I can't even keep my eyes open under water in any way, so diving goggles seem like the best solution, although I've never dived before.
Without diving goggles I really don't think it would be nice to dive, so I would really go diving with goggles myself, then.
