My goggles aren't that new but yes, just out of nowhere. I've been swimming in the same pool for some time and have used the same goggles in the past. Not sure what is going on :(

Yes, you might try searching Did it just happen out of nowhere, or after you donned your brand new goggles?

Not sure what is going on :( If your goggles haven't changed, and if it's the same pool where you always swim, then it sounds like the pool water has changed. You may want to talk to the pool manager to see whether they've changed something in their chemical management system.
