@MikeM Haven't tried a washing liquid yet, but i get the idea it won't hold for more than 2-3hours? |
Yes, lasts about a day for me so not a permanent solution, particularly if it's a foggy/misty day. My ski buddy has a small cloth impregnated with washing up liquid which he carries about with him in a small Jiffy bag. Calls it his magic rag and it's got to be over 10 years old now and still going strong. I think it's starting to mutate

It's really not that bad once you've done it once or twice - especially if you're using daily disposables as you don't really care where they go when they come out, just they they've come out. You don't actually have any nerve endings on your eyeball so you just need to get past the blink reflex.

| Don't think I could be bothered with ...the reduction in peripheral vision with inserts |
You have more or less the same peripheral vision you do wearing glasses - and even with quite bad eyesight you don't need correction for your peripheral vision anyway as it's more tuned to detect movement (i.e. that Lion creaping up on you/skier overtaking you), at which point you move your head to use your (glasses/inserts corrcted) central vision to identify if you need to go for fight of flight.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

I just made the investment for an optical insert and I’m liking what I’m seeing at the moment, my goggles feel slightly heavier but it feels a much better fit around the eyes without wearing glasses. Looking forward to seeing how they perform on the mountain, they are Smith I/OX turbo fan so I do have another way to keep fogging at bay.

It does, but about as well as washing up liquid I found.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

I swap these (seasonally) between ski goggles and motorcycle visor for reading phone messages, maps etc. Not prescription but good enough for me: https://tinyurl.com/ybt8kker . I carry folding readers in a hard case (size of a matchbox) for the lunch menu. I also use the Scott fan goggles, just because I got fed up with fogging generally and went for the nuclear option.

Sorry off topic but I got Lazik. Its awesome, roughly the same as wearing glasses. 20/15 at least. I'll need reading glasses at some point but it's well worth it.
Only side effect slight dry eye occasionally.
