Just hoping someone might have cracked it .

I've tried soap ,special cloths etc . Using micropore to tape the mask on works best but far from ideal .

Two pairs of glasses.. one worn outside, one kept in an inside pocket so the temperature differential isn’t as bad 😂 (disclaimer not tried it, just an assumption…)

I found these worked well, but I’m only using a mask for shopping etc, not working in one:

foggywipe.com/products/foggywipe

But better still since I changed to a N95/FFP3/FFP2 masks (which you can reuse) I don’t get fogging.

Interested in this thread?

Anti fogging spray?

I use masks with a wire I can shape around my nose and wear glasses on top of the mask.

I had a fancier (disposable) mask with a sort of nose bridge built in. Reduced steaming a lot.

I have to wear the mask very high up my nose, and put my glasses down on top of the mask. I hoard paper masks with the nose wire, as they are much better to wear with glasses.

I just use a spray from the opticians

I find I have to wear the mask really high up under the mask. It has to go up immediately under my eyelashes. The wired ones I've tried can't be bent to fit snugly enough.

I have found wearing it v high up with glasses over helps a bit .

Didn't find foggy wipes made much of a difference .

I had an eye test last week and the optician patiently went through her whole repertoire of preventing steaming up .Tape was best . In the end we just had to settle for taking the glasses off every few seconds .

I think I must run hot or something .

I don't wear glasses but family members seem to think the No Fog wipes do the trick, they ordered them from Amazon

My husband, who runs and cycles, has always has a spray called 'Muc-Off' which you can use on glasses, goggles, helmet visors and all sorts.

It stops fogging and makes a barrier against spray and dirt.

I've used it on my specs, it is a bit 'wet' and you need to spread the film evenly, but it works really well.
