Make an Adjustment to Your Glasses

The easiest thing you can do in order to avoid foggy glasses is to adjust the positioning of your glasses and the way they’re on your face when you’re wearing a mask. By placing your glasses further away from your face or further down the bridge of your nose, the warm air escaping through the top of your mask is less likely to come into contact with your glasses. The warm air is typically what causes the lenses to fog. This is not a perfect solution but can act as a short term fix.

Additionally, Another way to avoid warm air exiting through the top of the mask is to better seal the mask at the top. Getting a mask that molds to the shape of your nose will make this solution much more viable and result in less foggy glasses.

Use an Anti-Fog Product

There are many products on the market that will work in the form of a spray or wax in order to reduce the issue of foggy glasses. Simply apply one of these products to your lenses and enjoy a zero-fog experience. With many different products available and many different application processes, ensure you read the directions or get expert help in order to maximize the result of the product.
