How to Replace a Goggle Lens

Goggles are an important piece of equipment for skiers and boarders. They not only help vision on the slopes, but they also protect your eyes from the elements. When goggle lenses get damaged or become too scratched, replacements are available, allowing you to replace a lens without having to spend money on a whole new pair of goggles. Riders and skiers may also want the ability to change out lenses to a different color for changing light conditions. Lens replacement is a quick process that can even be done on the slope.

Instructions

    • 1

      Wash your hands.

    • 2

      Slowly remove the old lens by separating it from the frame at the top of your goggles.

    • 3

      Separate the lens all the way around the frame. Your lens should only be attached at the nose now.

    • 4

      Remove the lens from the nose slowly so that you do not damage the posts at the bridge.

    • 5

      Take your new lens from the package and take off about an inch of the protective film on the front and back. Some lenses will only have film on one side.

    • 6

      Attach your new lens to the goggles starting at the nose-piece. Make sure you line up the lens in the ridges. This will make it easier to line the lens up as you attach it.

    • 7

      Continue placing the lens into the ridges all the way around your goggles.

    • 8

      Check to be sure the lens is lined up all the way around.

    • 9

      Remove the plastic on both sides of your lenses.

    • 10

      Put on your goggles to make sure everything aligns and then hit the slopes.
