Helmet fog?

[Black Knight]

Can you elaborate a little please?
Both the doctor and the optician I have seen seemed a lot skeptical when I said I appear to be having double vision when looking at things with my right eye closed.
Or that sometimes it feels like I am getting more signal from my left but less focus.

I have type 11 diabetes and am also quite ancient-the diabetes effected the optic nerve in my left eye.I recently had cataracts removed and while this improved my eyesight considerably it also exposed the nerve problem to the extent that I saw two of everything, in perfect clarity with BOTH eyes open and only one of everything if I closed one eye.By putting a prism into my left hand lens the double vision was eliminated.Sorry mate I cannot comment on your single eye double vision problem.

Practice holding your breath.

Tried that too on a chilly morning but I'm so damn hot that even without breathing I still manage to steam my visor up

Thought I might be being a little hopeful but being my vision pretty keen to hear all possibilities.

Thank you any way.

Suggest a specialist at Auckland Eye Clinic in Remuera. Had to go to them many years with some weird eye infection that both my GP and optician struggled with. Not cheap but thorough and no nonsense.

I'll give them a chirp if follow up with optometrist yields no answers.
He seemed to think a referral to an opthamologist would be the way to go if they don't have answers then.

Another +1 on the Pinlock. For me any future helmet i look to buy that has a pinlock will have a foot in the door over one that doesn't.

Pinlock is one way. I've kinda gone off them, since the seals seem let go in under 6 months of near daily use. And under some night time circumstances the extra layer ends up being a pain in the posterior. Doesn't help that I wear glasses nowadays I suppose. A polish with good quality car polish, inside and out, is my current method. Seems to work reasonably well in all kinds of weather, well for me anyway...

Never had much luck with pinlocks lasting either.....might try that polish. How about your glasses, how do you stop them fogging?

I have found when the seals stop sealing evenly it helps no end to:
Take off the visor and insert.
Dip my finger in dish washing liquid, run it round the gasket.
Wash the visor in clean warm dishwater.
Rinse both in warm running water.
Allow to dry.
Clean up any streaks with window cleaner.
Refit the inser with the visor spread wide.
If necessary run finger along the gasket until you have good contact if necessary turn the pins to alter the tension.

Nothing fancy on the glasses, just the lens cleaner the optometrists gives me...and only once a month or so, seems to work for me.

Yeah cheers big fella, I've done that type of thing. I'm not sure if it's a side effect of running in all hours of the night and day, high and low temps, you know the drill. The seals become stiff and that's the fun over. I'll even admit to (well attempt anyway) to seal the pinlock insert with clear RTV, didn't exactly work out as planned. One of the reasons the seals fail I reckon is down to the visor distorting slightly when moving from the up to down position. Bring on the double glazed visor!

I used 'Plexus' with some success.
