Please help. I have tried "defogger", saliva, and dish detergent but
I still get fog and condensation inside my goggles. I swim distance
in a lake so stopping in the middle to fuss with my goggles is very
inconvenient. I would really appreciate some advice.

Besides not wearing goggles, the only other 2 things I can think of is...
live with it, or replace them more often

I don't have an answer for you - I've never found a way to avoid this.
It's basic science/physics as far as I know - if you sweat inside the
goggles, it'll happen. The only thing that ever makes a difference for
me is swimming slower - if I don't go at it as hard, I don't get foggy
goggles.

If you can get condensation instead of foggy lenses from the same amount
of moisture, I'd say you'd found the best solution possible.

Just my opinion - love to hear otherwise.

Tempered glass lenses fog up less than plastic in cold water, but are
difficult to obtain nowadays.
All lenses will fog up at the start, until they are the same temperature as
the surrounding water, so if you can drop them in the water 10 minutes
before you start it helps a bit. Also, wash your face in the cold water when
you first get in so that your eye sockets are wet.
Leaving a few drops of water on the inside of the lenses will keep them
reasonably clear, as your head movement in swimming moves them about. You
will never get perfect vision, but it helps.

I've had the same during open water swims. It really freaked me and I nearly
panicked (sort of claustrofobia I guess). Followed the advice of another
swimmer.
After a swim rinse goggles with fresh water.
The use defogger fluid and let dry until next swim.
At the next swim just put on your goggles and do not make them wet.

I use baby shampoo in the pool. Put a drop on each lens, inside and
out, and rinse once in the pool. Works for me.

Why do you need goggles in a lake? I use them to keep the chlorine out
of my eyes.

Thanks for the feedback. I will try your idea. I wear
contacts...that is why I need the goggles. I tried prescription
goggles but it is the same issue either way.

Have you considered laser surgery?
