yes, it can be enough to damage them

so you're saying i should get new goggles or a new lens?

well that's money down the drain

I'm saying that you only have one set of eyes and I would rather spend the 20 - 30 on a new lens, which needs to be replaced yearly anyway, then worry about losing an eye

bTd09 · 02-19-2005, 11:09 AM

yeah i know...i've looked and i can't find lenses for my goggles...

you could get a brand new shield for close to that price, they are great masks

DON'T RUN YOUR SPECTRE LENSES UNDER WATER! LIKE THE STICKY SAYS !WATER WILL GET IN BETWEEN THE LENSES THROUGH THE FOAM!

if ive used windex only once do i need to replace my spectra lens?. i used it to get the thin film of paint off it, then ran it under water immediately afterwards.

I just keep a couple of paper towels in my pocket

this is proobably the absolute WORST thing to do to your goggles: Well i was playing the last game of the day and i got hit in the mask. i was way too tired to clean off the goggles so i kept it on (i didnt know i wouldnt play for about a month). during that time the paint dried. I tried EVERYTHING to get that paint off. And i mean EVERYTHING. The only thing that got it off was a sharp knife. Not the best thing you should ever do. The visability after that was about 20 ft. This tells ya to always clean your goggles after the game (it is also very dangerous, the plastic might break with enough force, say a paintball)

I was just wondering I have like the cheap extreme rage x-ray goggles and everytime I get hit in the face I get permanet marks and I can't get them off it's always so blurry. If I get a proflex are those lens better?

DON'T!

Ok, i wear glasses and I can tell you for a FACT that all modern corrective lenses are in fact made of plastic NOT GLASS! Next time you post somithing make sure you have your facts right.

Ok i clean my googels with like windex and my friend says that is bad is it??

iconoclast · 06-25-2006, 08:36 PM

Yeah the chemicals are strong enough to weaken your lenses, making them unsafe for use.

ibeeberz · 07-24-2006, 03:23 PM

you say nothing but water, but what about sprays specialized for paintball masks? I've been using a JT Majik Spray on me and my friends mask for about a year, is it okay?

DeathKobra · 08-08-2006, 06:11 PM

Can I have an answer to that question above? ^ By ibeeberz.

Water, you drink it, you use it for paintball. Magical stuff.

Water works, it's free, and, hey, i said so

but if u have thermal lenses u dont want 2 run them under a fountain itll get water inside them

TheTwinkieMafia · 10-07-2006, 08:58 AM

i have a question, will warm water damage thermal lenses by making it not anti fog anymore?

inuyasharox4776 · 10-07-2006, 02:39 PM

I dont think so, but I still recommend using cold water. also, dont soak thermals in water

But the fact is of what material are lenses on corrective eyewear made of, it's a matter on what's in the chemical. Glass cleaner is okay to use on glasses because frankly, they were made to correct your vision, not stop a paintball!
