    Make certain that you don't have any anti-reflective coatings or anti-glare
    coatings or tinting on your glasses. Even the normal eyeglass cleaners that
    are not specifically made for the coated glasses will ruin the lenses.
    Happened to my husband several times before we realized he was using the
    wrong type lens cleaner solution. Causes the coatings to peel or flake off.

    Hi Len,
      I have never tried it on glasses for that reason, but maybe using "Sea
    Drops" the same solution used on scuba masks to prevent them from fogging up
    might work.

      Hi Group,

    Sailing in a heavy thunderstorm-shower I am having trouble with my
    vision: heavy rain on my glasses (I need a correction of -6 on both
    eyes) reduces my vision almost completely.
    For this reason I even got soft contacts but I must say it's a pita.
    Lasik is not an option for me.

    My question to fellow-foureyes here: what do you do for a remedy?
    I was thinking of using a car-windscreen product that influences the
    surface-tension of water so it will run off the glass in stead of
    sticking to it.

    Any idea's ?

    Fair winds, Len.
