How to Solve the Fogging of Glasses When Wearing A Mask?

The COVID-19 epidemic is not over yet, masks still have to be worn, but for people who wear glasses, wearing masks and glasses will fog up and not see clearly, which is really annoying.

The Misting Characteristics of Spectacle Lenses

The cause of lens fogging is that water vapor condenses at low temperatures into smaller particles that adhere to or around the lens. When exposed to warmer air, small particles of solid water vapor can liquefy or evaporate, causing the lens to fog up and make it difficult to see.

The most commonly used strategy to solve lens fogging is to reduce the surface tension of fog beads so that the fog beads on the lens aggregate to form an ultra-thin water film. The easiest way is to wear a mask properly and use lens anti-fog wipes to prevent fogging.

Why do My Glasses Fog Up When Wearing A Mask？

Whether it's winter or summer, we more or less experience glasses fogging up. Also, we need to wear masks every day. Fogging on the glasses is the most annoying for people who wear glasses, resulting in unclear vision. And if you don't clean it up in time, the fog won't go away on its own.

Eye fogging is generally caused by the large temperature difference between indoor and outdoor, exhaling when wearing a mask, aggravating the water vapor in the lens, or fogging of the glasses.

If you don't want to spend more money on anti-fog lenses, you can also buy special glasses anti-fog wipes or anti-fog cleaners, which can form a dense, ultra-thin, and ultra-transparent biological coating on the surface of the lenses to convert fog droplets into Transparent micro-glass layer, so as to achieve the purpose of anti-fog
