Messed Up Crowbar Lenses

So my buddy borrowed my crowbars, did some hiking and bc stuff with em, and somehow this happened. We're not sure how it happened. It's like a permanent fog type of thing. It isn't on the outside, either inside both lenses or on the  outside of the inner lens. Won't rub off.

What should I do? Any similar problems?Smear

When the inside of the lens gets warm or wet it softens the anti fog coating. Rubbing the coating while it is soft results in that happening. It is permanent and cannot be fixed, you can try warranty but thats hit or miss in these cases.
