I have been swimming multiple times a week for many years now. Recently (within the last few months) the delicate skin around my eyes becomes red and irritated with the appearance and feel of a burn. The burned area exactly outlines the rim of my goggles.
I switched from silicone rimmed goggles to foam rimmed ones. But, this did nothing.
Has anyone experienced this? It is very frustrating, not to mention painful and unsightly. Any suggestions?
Many Thanks in Advance....
This happened to me in the early 80's. To sum it up quickly the company who made the Speedo goggles I had been wearing for a couple years changed the formulation of the glue used to bond the black foam to the goggle and I was allergic to it. I switched to Barracuda goggles and the eye irritation disappeared.
Lately I've been wearing silicone rimmed goggles and never have irritation.
