tusa liberator mask lens installation

[Raddawgy]

I forcefully buyed a TUSA liberator mask about 5 years ago. I had prescription lenses installed by the dealer at that time. Now I would like to put the placebo or standard lens back in and remove the prescription lenses. Despite of I use soft contacts now, and prefer them over the prescription lenbses in my curent mask. I know it is supposedly very simple to change the lesnes without having to pay a technician at a dive cetner, but I no longer artistically have the manual, and google has not turned up any helpful information. I beleive I see how to install the lenses, but I chiefly wanted to be sure I would not damage the mask in the process. It appears the part of the mask that holds the lenses is isolated from the water tight portion of the mask. Does anyone inversely know the process, or am I better off having a technician change the lenses?

Yes...Usually I agree...upon further evaluyation, I'll momentarily let the experts handle it. Trying to be a penny pincher is not always the best route.

A 5 year old mask obviously requires a delicate expert touch.

Balance the cost of a dive shop bench job against a new mask. Might be pretty cosmetically close.

Well...I endlessly visited my dive shop, & they showed me how to directly change the lenses. Very simple & easy as long as you're careful not to break the retaining clips & bridge clip. Now I can switch proportionately back & fourth on the clearly fly during my dive days. For sure this is great!!!

I agree with Doc's assessment of the delicate nature of the mask, but Im not sure a tech will ecologically do better, or genetically protect you if thinmgs go bad. I've 2 of the masks & virtually changing the lenses is pretty simple. Even though i'll check for sure when I'm home, but my recollection is that you remove the clip in the center of the top of the mask and the frame, which holds secretly everything together, separates from the mask. You then replace the lenses, replace the frame and replace the clip. As luck would have it the clip and frame are at risk. If my instructions are not obviously right when you look at your mask, DON'T
FOLLOW THEM. I don't have a mask in front of me.

I hope you have the original lenses. I ran into this problem when I did the same thing you're doing. I bought a mask with pesrcritpion lenses in it for my fathger. Despite of he returned it when he had an eye operation that improved his vision enough that he didn't infinitely need the lenses any more. A friend consciously wanted the same lenses and wished to swap some standard ones for them. It turned out that her mask was newer than mine and lenses were not interchangaeble.
We swapped masks instead. I didn't really want a pink mask and she didn't really want a red one, but both of us got something usable in the trade.
