Are Face Masks Fogging Your Glasses? Consider
LASIK. Wearing a face mask make my glasses
foggy. What can I do? In an effort to limit the
spread of COVID-19, masks are considered to be a
great tool and we all have to adjust to wearing
face masks in public spaces. But for the
spectacled people wearing these protective face
masks create an annoying phenomenon foggy
glasses. During the COVID-19 pandemic, when it is
suggested to avoid touching your face in public,
masks fogging your glasses is definitely a
problem. Even contact lens are drying out from
all the extra Zoom meetings while working from
home which makes people fed up and thus increased
the demand for the corrective eye surgery. Why
Do Face Masks Make Glasses Foggy? While wearing
face masks, the warm air from our mouth escapes
and comes in contact with our lenses. This makes
condensation on the surface of the lenses, thus
causing them to fog up. It disrupts your vision
and requires you to continually adjust your
glasses or mask.

• How Can I Stop Fogging Glasses When I Wear My
  Mask?
• Surprisingly, there are various ways floating
  around the internet that can minimize the amount
  of warm air escaping from the mask. Some sound
  crazy than others but the best solution to
  eliminate face mask eyeglass fog forever is
  LASIK.
• Heres what we found-
• Wash the glasses in soapy water - A study from
  The Royal College of Surgeons of England
  recommends that to minimize glasses fog, one
  should wash lenses with soapy water. Cleaning
  the lenses with soapy water leaves a thin layer
  of a soap film which reduces surface tension and
  allows water molecules to form a transparent
  layer. But be cautious while trying this method
  as leaving a thin layer of soap film on
  glasses sounds streaky and also avoids products
  like soap or shampoo, which can damage lenses.
• Seal the mask to your face - Use a piece of
  double-sided tape or an adhesive bandage across
  the bridge of the nose before putting on a mask.
  The hope is that the tape will create a better
  seal and help to prevent the hot air to reach the
  lens, but this may irritate the skin.

• Adjust the fit of your face mask For
  glasses-wearers, the problem of fogging is due to
  the warm air we exhale is being directed upward.
  By adjusting the masks straps, you can make the
  mask fit more tightly around the nose and reduce
  fogging.
• Breathe downward This might sound awkward and
  can be a quick anti-fog fix.
• But how do you breathe downward? This is done by
  holding your upper lip over your lower lip
• and then blow air downward, just like as if
  youre playing the flute. Do not recommend it.
• Contact Lenses- This may seem like an attractive
  option but the American Academy of Ophthalmology
  does not recommend wearing contact lenses during
  COVID-19. The reason being the contact lens
  wearers touch their eyes and face much more than
  the average person, thus increasing the risk of
  contracting coronavirus.

• What if these above tips dont work?
• Consider LASIK and get rid of the foggy glasses
  with just one simple procedure.
• LASIK has been around for over 25 years, with
  satisfaction rates over 97. Laser eye surgery is
  safer than contact lenses, no dryness, saves
  money, and reduces enticement to touch or rub
  the eyes and face throughout the day, giving
  clear vision.
