Make your own swimming goggles may seem a bit far fetched, but for those of us that are afflicted with myopia and enjoy swimming the benefit is 'easy to see.'

Tabata Co. developed a unique system that allows Swimmers to select from a variety of lenses in the Corrective Lens VC-510 line, and combine them

with the headband and nose strap in the Corrective Goggle Parts Kit VPS-500 to create goggles that meet their particular needs. It takes less than 20 seconds to assemble. Lenses are available in 14 powers and two colors, while headbands come in four colors.

Price: 600 yen for the parts kit, and 1,100 yen for each corrective lens.
