Question: I am having a problem with finding the perfect goggles. They either leak, scratch, or I can't seem to adjust them properly. The last resort came when I bought a pair of TYR hydrovision goggles that seemed to fit perfectly, and were advertised as antifog, and UVB protected. Fog appeared pretty quickly, so I took them off, and tried to wipe them clean with my suit, then later a towel. Now that lens is all scratched up. No one ever told me that one can't clean these plastic lenses?
Anyone else have problems like this?

The thing to do is (yes, unfortunately, $pend a little and) try different makes and models. Since they don't have fitting rooms for goggles that simulate actual swimming conditions, you'll find the near-perfect one by trial and error. You can always donate the ones that are absolutely a sieve.
Once you find the near-perfect one, buy a few because (in my personal experience) every time I found a make/model that didn't leak, it has been discontinued.
One advantage of having a few different models is that some days model A, which didn't leak yesterday will leak today and model B will be hermetic.
(It will also throw off, other swimmers, who want to complain about the swimmer with the blue/smoke XYZ goggles, when you're in there with your clear black FGH ones.)
