My fellow bespectacled people, I know I speak for
all of us when I say this era of wearing masks all the time has been quite
tedious on us. Cleaning up your glasses from time to time due to the fog has
exasperated us. And not wearing a mask is clearly not an option. Of course, you
can always wear your contact lenses if you’re up for it, but glasses are more
comfortable for long hours.
So, how do you avoid getting your glasses fogged up
when wearing a mask?
An
N95 mask.
I noticed that using a double air valve mask from
Metro Masks avoided fogging up my glasses. So the kind of mask you’re using is
also likely to impact the fogging. For that matter, you can buy anti fog
glasses these days, but if that is out of the option for now, go for N95 mask.
Adjust
your glasses over the rim of the mask
When you put your glasses over the mask, it helps
with the fogging of the mask. The KN95 masks are easier for this one.
Make
your mask as fitting as possible
Adjust the mask in a fitting way in your face. It
should not be loose. Tie a knot on both ends so as to make it tighter and more
fitting on your face. This will allow less space for the air to escape from the
top.
Adjust
your glasses
Move your glasses a little bit forward on the bridge
of your nose. It may make you look like a nerd but it will allow the air to
circulate more and there is less chance of your glasses being fogged. To keep
your glasses from falling off every time you bend, you can keep rubber bands on
both ends of the glasses where they are placed on your ears.
Tape
your mask
I saw this
somewhere on social media a few days ago. You can tape your mask on place
across your cheeks and over the bridge of your nose. Use adhesive or medical
tape. But this is only okay for people who have to wear masks for long hours.
