    Default blurry eyes after swimming

    All,

    I have recently switched to the BB method and after some frustration in getting my pool to the point where it was only losing 1ppm per night of FC, I have been consistent with my bleach usage now for a couple of weeks. One thing I have taken note of is that if I am swimming for a few hours and do not use a swim mask, my eyes are extremely blurry for a couple of hours after I get out. All of my readings (i.e. FC, CC, PH, TA, and CYA) are all in-line with what I have been taught here.

    What would make my eyes this blurry?

    Thanks in advance for any responses.

    I have a Taylor K-2006 kit
    FC = 8 to 12
    PH = 7.6
    TA = 80/90
    CYA = 70 (This has dropped from the 90 to 100 range within 3 weeks of using the bleach in lieu of chlorine tabs)

    It has rained pretty hard here over the last couple of days, so is it possible that I am getting a false CYA reading? If not, can evaporation and refilling with hose naturally deplete the CYA level this quickly? If the CYA level is correct, I was going to drop my FC down to 6 to 8.

    Please advise.

    Thanks!

    I didn't see anything suspicious in your numbers so I asked Ben to offer an opinion.
