With masks now mandatory in most shops and public places, a new challenge has been presented to glasses wearers. Glasses fogging can be a real nuisance. Whether it's reduced vision, having to constantly wipe your lenses or the moisture causing your frames to slip down your nose, it can be frustrating. In this blog, we'll give you some tips on keeping your lenses and glasses fog-free. Why Do Lenses Fog Up The main reason that glasses fog up is due to limited airflow. The shape of the mask means that the large majority of the air you breathe out escapes through the top of the mask. When you breathe out, your warm breath comes in contact with your cooler lenses. This causes condensation and in turn causes your lenses to fog up. This moisture can also cause your glasses to slip down your nose, hampering vision and requiring constant adjustment. Our 5 Tips To Stop Your Glasses Steaming Up There's a variety of things you can do to decrease the effects of moisture and fog on your glasses/lenses.
