Pre 2026:
  • Weight: 16g Had some visible blur on bottom where some water might remain be after washing, that's the main reason I bought the new one. After getting new one, I tried washing it with vinegar dilluted one to one in water for 30 mins to see if it was hard water buildup, but no, it didn't help at all with the bottom, and made one eye extremelly burry, basically unusable. Don't ever do that!
