All our swim goggles are treated at point of manufacture with an anti-fog
coating. While no coating lasts forever these normally are
good for upwards of one year with average use of the swim goggles.
Our original V1 goggles have been sold along with an aftermarket anti-fog
treatment “ZEROFOG”. This has been used with
no problems.
HOWEVER, our new style of prescription swim goggles, “V2”,
has a factory anti-fog coating that is adversely affected by the application
of ZEROFOG. The ZEROFOG actually dissolves part of the factory
coating and gives the appearance of a heavily scratched lens.
The lenses are not actually scratched (unless an abrasive cloth or tissue
was used) and the irregular marking can be removed by using “isopropyl
alcohol” commonly called rubbing alcohol. Place a few drops
of alcohol onto the inside of the lens & rub with your finger to
dissolve all of the factory coating. Then rinse in HOT water.
Alcohol will also dissolve any factory anti-fog coating on the V2 goggles
and then ZEROFOG can be used to provide anti-fogging protection.
If you have used ZEROFOG on the V2 Goggles, you will have to use alcohol & a
finger scrub to remove all the factory coating then rinse with HOT WATER. You
might have to let the lens soak for a while to make sure all coating
on the inside of the lens is removed. Then ZEROFOG or other
anti-fog treatment can be applied.
If you have cleaned the inside of any lens and it appears badly scratched
it might be useful to try removing the factory coating as this scratches
much more easily than does the polycarbonate lens. |
