Broken Crowbar Lenses

After taking a digger the other day, I realized that my inside lens of my crowbars was split cleanly down the middle. Somehow, the outside lens remained intact and unbroken. The vision still is fine but fog seeps in between the lenses and is impossible to remove or wipe off. Any way to prevent this fogging in the middle or are the lenses kaput? (PM me also if you have lenses to sell)

you could try cat crap on the inside lens, or if its really bad, you could try to pull the inside lens off and just have a single lens, but that will fog like crazy. Unfortunately, a new lens will probably be the only good way to go

the oakley told us that they shoot like bullets at their lenses and they dont break.
so i applaud you for breaking the lense.

the fogging is happening in between the two lenses, that why you cant wipe it. its going to be a pain in the ass so unless you can seal it (with super glue? that seems like it would screw up your sight) then you need new lenses...

my black irid is also broken, 2 huge crack on the inside. brand new on the outside. i dont care about it. But yeah there's a little more fog in there, but you can clearly ski with it.

I've already had to deal with warranty issue with oakley, and if the outside lens is not crack, it won't be warrantied. You could still try.

Is it really in the middle, from top to bottom? If you dont see it when skiing, you could try to use some superglue/ precicion glue (dont know how you call that in the US) people use it to glue things like small model planes and stuff.. so glue with a needle on it.. if you can seal it it wont fog anymore..

It will fog, because condensation would be trapped in there.. Except if he can vaccum out the condensation.
