Goggles are messed up

so i went up skiing today, and as my goggles got foggy, i wiped them with a goggle wipe, but maybe i wiped them too hard or something, cause there is a fat smear across the inside of the lens. Can someone tell me what to do? i've tried wiping it off, putting water on it, glasses spray and none of them have worked.

don't wipe the inside of the goggle. put your gogs inside your jacket to regulate the temp between the lenses. then get a tissue to DAB up the water on the inside of the goggle.

well the smear is basically the layer of antifog that has rubbed away.... So im not sure if its possible to reapply antifog treatment or not. The only other way i see getting rid of the smear is to get rid of all the antifog treatment on the inside of the goggle. If you did this the smear wouldn't be a problem but your goggles will be fogging up like crazy

I've got a pair of crowbars and I have wiped the inside of them so many times, and nothing has really happened. Granted, I'm pretty sure that I used the inside of the goggle bag. This with probably sound stupid and assure you than you will lose the anti-fog, but just breath on them and wipe till the smear is gone. I don't really find that they fog up uch more without it. But I definately would not go out and buy new goggles, unless the lens is completely scratched up.

This happened to my goggles. It makes them super hard to see out of, but they don't really fog. I would get new lenses but I don't have the money so I just deal with it

I have already replaced my lenses, but the lenses are like $75 so i might as well just lose my a-frames and get crowbars for $95

WOW dude. You really got too much money to spend hey?..
A-frame are dope. But if you do ditch them, why don't you send them to me. the smear won't be a problem.
