Inside Lense Blur

One of my crowbar lenses has this blur on the inside part of the lense. The lense is pretty trashed, but would be usable if I got rid of this blur. Has anyone had this and what should i do to get rid of it.
I can get pics if you think it may help, but i don't know if i'll be able to pick it up on my camera.

Thats from rubbing the inside of the lense, there really isnt any way to fix it, what I do is try to rub out all the anti-fog and put new stuff in, (which rarely works) or, which actually works well, separate the two lenses and only use the outerlense, just make sure you put on foam shit on the openings and put new anti-fog on.

the same fucking thing happened to me. what i did was to cut out the inside lens and use the outside one but i didnt cut the foam but as a relsult of cutting it the lens gets foggy when u wear a ski mask or a bandana so basically thats ur only option unless ur going to buy a new one

Yeah never rub the inside of your lens or that will happen.

Call Oakley, they'll exchange it for cheap.

This is one of the very few flaws of Oakley lenses. This has happened to me before, and I called them up and they told me that it is the result of rubbing the inside of the lens when it is WET. They said there is nothing that you can do to easily fix it. Repeating what was said before, the only solution is to remove the inside lens.

The same thing happened to me and I've tried to rub off the old coating using toothpaste and it has helped but not totally fixed it. I think I'm going to cut off the inner lense

its not worth the hassle to do that. Click for larger image

Thats the lens and that big strach is worse then it looks, the cheap price it would take for oakley to repair it would be more then the lense is really worth.

And i already split it, it's better, but i'm hoping it doesn't fog up too bad
