Bit off topic, but here's hoping some of you might have a solution. 

 

I've never liked using these lenses because it's got this horrible tint on it but unfortunately my clear ones are a bit scratched so I played a round with these last week until the sun came out and I switched them out for a dark tint. 

 

I took a shot to the face as you can see which removed some of the tint. This got me thinking if there was a way to remove it completely. Would be nice to have another clear lense to use. 

 

Any ideas?

Bleach and hot water? Sounds.. interesting. I'll give it a go tonight. Thanks.

Race you.  My new fan vented goggles (Gucci, me) came with a dark tinted lens and, well, Scotchland.  They're soaking in bleach in tin foil tray just now.

Any luck? Didn't have any effect on mine.

That's a hard "no" from me.  Black sludge in the bottom of the tin, but no appreciable lightening of the lens.  My assumption is that the sludge is lens material rather than a surface tint and the only way to lighten them would be to dissolve significant amounts of it.  Which would be a baaaaad idea.  Lens binned, experiment concluded.

I suppose an opticians might be able to do something with it but I'm really not that arsed. I've still got 3 lenses to use. Smoke, yellow and clear.
