The anti-fog coating of goggles seems to work only for a few weeks. Even if you are careful not to scratch it off, it seems to attract dirt and make the lens "foggy" anyway. So, soon you better end up scratch off all the coatings. I just wonder if it makes much sense to get anti-fog goggles unless it's just for a short period of time? I use soapy water to rinse goggles before putting on, and it has worked better without a single fail instance. I'm debating to myself whether to scratch off the coating of my new goggles which have already become "foggy" because I can't touch the lens to clean the dirt that's been attracted by the coating.

You don't need to lick it, let alone between intervals. One single quick rinse with a little soapy water before putting it on, and no worry again during your whole swim session.
What I want to decide is, should I simply scratch off the anti-fog coating from relatively new goggles so don't have to worry about avoiding touching the lens in order to clean it, since sooner or later that'll be the case. Since it's a thin coating, it's never going to work for long anyway. Seems the whole thing about it makes little sense.
