The use of a protective mask will be mandatory in crowded public places after May 15. But those who wear glasses often complain that, due to the mask, they are steamed. The warm air exhaled through the nose and mouth condenses on contact with the colder lenses of the glasses. But there are some “tricks” that can make life easier for those who wear glasses.
First, check that the fogging of the glasses is not the result of a mask that has not been adjusted correctly. If it is too large, the distance between the skin and the mask allows hot air to pass through. Press the mask over the nose with your fingers so that it is better attached, if it is a surgical mask, which has a metal strip, or simply tighten it better, if it is a handmade mask.
There’s also anti-fog substances for glasses, in the form of sprays or gels, which is applied directly to the lens and dries almost instantly. They are mainly used by athletes who wear glasses in competitions.
If you can’t find them on the market, there is another trick: use one liquid soap delicate. Simply apply a thin cross or X-shaped coating to the lens, wipe with a microfiber or cotton cloth, and then rinse.
Another solution is shaving foam. Clean both sides of the lens with shaving foam, then rinse with warm water. Whether it’s soap or shaving foam, the “trick” works for the bathroom mirror, too, so it doesn’t vaporize.
In the case of handmade masks, a slot, a “pocket”, can be made to be able to insert inside a flexible sheet (for example, you can adapt a hair clip or an office clip) that will work as a kind of clamp allowing the nasal mask to attach so that the exhaled air does not allow it to rise into the glasses. That is how:
Another method is to use one for the top of the mask. tissue. Fold the scarf and simply fold the top of the mask, the one on the nose, underneath so that the napkin absorbs the expired hot air and moisture.
Ultimately, it can also be pasted medical adhesive tape, attached to the mask, to prevent air from escaping from the top. Here is a demonstration of the two methods:
