Wendy, In Hawaii, I rented a prescription mask. It was very cool. They had lenses that just snapped into the mask - since I needed two different ones (my eyes are different- duh), they each worked perfectly. I wore hard contacts then so wearing them under a mask was not an option.
I do wear disposable contacts, but even at $20.00 each, I am not sure I want to risk losing them with a mask. Maybe I will save an old pair or two for snorkeling....
