With the ongoing pandemic, face masks have become a daily essential for everyone. However, wearing a mask has caused a new problem for wearers – up. As you breathe, the warm air escapes upwards towards your glasses, causing the to fog up, making it difficult to see. It is inconvenient, but there are several ways to your glasses from fogging up while wearing a mask.

Choose the Right Mask

The type of mask you wear could be the factor affecting the fogging of your glasses. To prevent fogging, choose a mask that fits snugly around your face, with a wire nosepiece that molds around your nose. This will help reduce the amount of hot air escaping upwards, decreasing the chances of your glasses fogging up.

Clean Your Lenses

Another way to prevent your glasses from fogging is by keeping your lenses clean. A layer of dirt or oil over the lenses attracts more moisture, making fogging even more likely. Before wearing your glasses with a mask, make sure to clean the lenses thoroughly with a microfiber cloth or lens wipes designed for glasses. This will help prevent fogging and ensure that you can see clearly.

Use Anti-Fog Products

Several products in the market can help prevent glasses from fogging up while wearing a mask. Anti-fog sprays are a popular option, easily available online or at local stores. Apply a small amount of the spray on the lenses and wipe off any excess with a microfiber cloth. However, ensure that the spray is compatible with your glasses, as some sprays may cause damage to the coating or material. Another option is to apply a drop of dish soap on your glasses and wipe it clean with a cloth, leaving a thin film on the lenses that will prevent them from fogging up.

Adjust the Fit

Sometimes, adjusting the fit of your glasses can help prevent fogging. Push your glasses further up your nose, so it fits snugly against the mask, or adjust the arms of your glasses to fit slightly more tightly around your ears. This allows the warm air to escape towards the sides or bottom of the mask rather than upwards, reducing the chances of fogging.

Secure the Mask with Tape

If nothing seems to work, try securing the mask with tape. A small piece of surgical tape or a band-aid on the top of the mask, where it meets your nose, can help to secure the mask’s fit, preventing the warm air from escaping upwards. However, ensure the tape does not block your airflow or cause any skin irritation.

In Conclusion

Wearing a mask is crucial during the COVID-19 pandemic. Simultaneously, wearing glasses daily requires the necessity of preventing fogging. With these tips, you can prevent your glasses from fogging up while wearing a mask, ensuring clear vision and protection at the same time. Stay healthy and safe!
