Costa 580 Glass Lens

[CostaMaya]

I recently got a pair of Costa Del Mar sunglasses with 580 Glass lens. One lens at the very top gets moisture in it, is this normal, is this a defect? Or is this normal for glass lens? Someone help...it's really annoying me. I can't have them on my face for 10 minutes without one lens doing that.

I moved this to the proper board. Only one thread per topic please. Duplicates only confuses things. Hopefully someone will reply shortly with some insight. Welcome aboard!

I have owned a set of costa 580's for quite some time now and I have never experienced that. I think it is a defect. I would contact the company where you got them.

I have had Costa's delaminate, but never build moisture in the lens, Send it back to Costa and get a new pair, I love my 580s though.

Is it actual moisture IN the lense? Or is it just when you put them on your face, they get fog/condensation.

I dont see how moisture could get in a glass lens in the first place, but thats off topic.

If it's just fog/condensation, yes, that completely normal for glass lenses. I may suggest applying an anti-fog coating to see if that helps.

I've had a set delaminate also. They have a great warranty so it should be easy to get the fixed or replaced.

I just had my regular (not 580's) delaminate for the second time. They said this happens when water sits at the bottom of the frames on the lenses. I would contact them before you have more issues.

It happens when I put them on my face after about 5 to 10 minutes. It seems to only be one lens...but when I put my Polarized oakley's on...the left lens also does the same. So I'm assuming it's just b/c the len's are glass?

And I didn't mean IN the lens! I mean while on face...they get mositure top left lens...right lens doesn't.

I don't think they are defected. I think it's just a moisture glass issue thing. I'm a woman, so it annoys me pretty bad!! So I'm not sure what I am going to do. I like them better than Oakley. But I come from Polarized Oakley's. I am not sure why they are doing this. Does anyone else's 580 Glass lens (blue) do this? I get moisture in the top left, but sometimes they'll both completely fog up depending on the temp.

Ah, BINGO.

All glass lenses fog. Oakleys are not glass lenses, so they dont fog easily. However the costas are, and thats a nature of the beast. If one just fogs up in a certain spot, its the shape of your face and the glasses that cause that, because faces are not perfectly symetrical.

I'd suggest buying an anti-fog coating to apply to the lenses.

Get some Cat Crap lenses cleaner. It will keep your lenses from fogging up. Put it on once to twice a month.
