What is in goggles that allows you to see clearly underwater?

Question

What is in goggles that allows you to see clearly underwater? Why can't we "see" underwater unless we have goggles on?

Answer 1

the air and plastic, if you have something like that as a liquid than its blurry but just air and plastic is as if you were looking through a Aquarium

Answer 2

...Because if you don't have goggles on water is going to go in your eye making everything blurry and wavy but if you wear goggles you're safe from water going in your eyes

Answer 3

I think it's because water gets into our eyes and clouds our vision. Plus goggles have a coating of something on them so it's easier to see.

Answer 4

air.

since the space in goggles traps air, it allows us to look around underwater freely.

Answer 5

they are like glasses but they are suctioned to your face. there is air between you and the water

Answer 6

they were made to keep the water out of your eyes so you can see clearly

Answer 7

the glass

Answer 8

you can only see when there is air on you eyeballs. Its the same principle as looking into a tank. the goggles create an air socket that allows you to see .

Answer 9

the fact that the water isnt on your eyeballs?

Thats what makes everything blury

Human eyes arent designed to see underwater so the goggles create a little air pocket

Answer 10

The goggles stop water from getting in your eyes and blurring your vision.

Plus the clear plastic lets us see.

Answer 11

beaucause when you put on the googles air comes in with the suctioany cup to stick and stay to your eyes. so then it blocks out the water near your eyes that makes it not so blurry when you see.

Answer 12

fairy dust

Answer 13

I can see just fine underwater without goggles.  

The goggles has  a barrier (and air) that keeps water from touching your eyes, which some people find irritating, and therefore think they can't see as well.

Answer 14

Cuz when you have goggles your looking through air. It like looking thtough a window

Answer 15

There's no water in your eyes and it's clear, making it easy to see, such as with glasses.

Answer 16

lol because the water goes in your eyes causing you to only see water.. The goggles keeps the water out your eyes and lets you see clearly out the plastic lenses

Answer 17

clear plastic?

Answer 18

There is nothing special in googles that make you see under water. its just blocking water from your eyes letting you see.

Answer 19

air?

Answer 20

well air becuase if you open your eyes you cant see beacuse are eyes arnt made for that

Answer 21

air and aloy of clear paste

Answer 22

its like looking through a window underwater.

Answer 23

There is nothing but clear plastic. You can see clear because your eyes are totaly open to every thing. There is nothing to stop well anything from going into them. So when you open your eyes under water some of the water will go into your eyes so it makes it hard to see. But googles protect your eyes so nothing obstructs the retina so you can see clear.
