When wearing glasses and a mask or a face shield for several hours, everyone can notice the formation of fog on the lenses.
Why does fog form on my corrective glasses or sunglasses?
When exhaling, warm breath primarily escapes from the top of the mask and comes into contact with the spectacle lenses. The vapor thus created fogs up the lenses, making vision uncomfortable and blurry. Moreover, this excess moisture reduces the adherence of your glasses to your nose, causing them to slip more.
The importance of properly positioning your mask?
Properly positioning your mask is the first thing to do to prevent fogging! This will protect you best from various airborne particles (pollen, viruses, bacteria...) and less of your breath will escape, thus avoiding excess fog. To do this, make sure your mask fits snugly around your nose and cheeks. There should be as little gap as possible between your face and the mask; the flexible metallic reinforcement is there to help you with this.
Once the mask is properly adjusted, place your corrective glasses over it as usual.
The usefulness of anti-fog microfibers for my glasses?
With this annoying phenomenon, there are many tips to prevent fog on your glasses, many of which are bordering on absurdity! Shaving foam, for example, which will damage the surface treatments of your lenses, or soap which will create bubbles!!
The ideal, practical and inexpensive solution: anti-fog microfibers.
These microfibers are impregnated with a specific nanotech solution that reduces condensation on lenses. They are specially designed for use with your prescription glasses or sunglasses without the risk of altering lens treatments. These anti-fog cloths are made with a soft fabric, eliminating any risk of scratches.
How long does an optical anti-fog microfiber last?
The anti-fog cloth or chamois can be used at least 100 times and even more than 200 times for cleaning your glasses, helmets, or visors. To maximize its longevity, make sure to store it in an airtight plastic bag after use.
Very important: do not wash the anti-fog microfiber to maintain its effectiveness.
