Mask leaking through lens?

[Gamgan]

Hey divers!!

Tried searching for an answer to my question but keep finding articles about leakin mask but it's mostly about bad fits.


This is my question. My girlfriend uses an Oceanic ion 4 with removable lenses. She had not used her mask for 3 months but it was cleaned and stored correctly.

We tried it today and it was leaking on one side pretty bad. Pretty sure it was not through the skirt but through the space between the lens and skirt. Can I remove the lens and glue the edge with some white silicone or is there a correct way to seal the mask around the leaking lens? I plan on removing them in te future when we make her prescription lenses if we can get this mask to work.

Thanks in advance and safe diving!!

If the lens is removable, remove it and refit it. I had one mask that had a major malfunction after about 50 dives. Took the mask apart, no easy feat. and found the seating area appeared rolled over. Cleaned it really well and put it back together. 100 dives later and no troubles.
