I know when there is encrusting salt on Marine Tank glass that has become steadfast a dip in an acidic solution will dissolve the dried salt. A household product should do the trick- distilled white vinegar. If these goggles are an extra pair, try it. Let me know how it works.

It doesn't sound like just a build up of salt. Any salt from the sea would dissolve in fresh water in a few seconds. If you're talking about the surface going misty then it's from the salt and sun drying out the actual lens/plastic...assuming they're a plastic version. I don't use prescription lenses but I have noticed they do seem to wear simliar to any plastic goggle.Go cloudy. My advice is wash after every use....chlorine as well and then spray an anti-fog on the lenses before placing in a cover. Never rub the lens.Wash in warm mild soapy water once a week to remove grease and then spray before putting them away again.Arena anti-fog is better than Speedo(this never seems to work well for me).The anti-fog works better this way than applying just before use. Check with the makers though....remember never rub them unless its with soapy water. Always rince excess sand/salt off before using the soapy water....stops the scratching which can happen when you clean them. Wash the case to remove sand every so often.
