You may have noticed that your glasses sometimes fog up while wearing a face mask. With new rules around the wearing of face masks, it’s important that those with glasses are able to see clearly. We have put together a few handy hints that might help with annoying fogging!

Put your glasses over your mask
A simple hack: just pull up your mask so the top sits higher on your nose, and wear your glasses on top of the material. Any escaping breath should miss your glasses.

Use soap and water
If you don’t have a special coating on your glasses, you could try washing them in soapy water and then letting them air dry or very gently drying them. The idea is that the soap leaves behind a film that prevents glasses from fogging. It’s best to avoid soaps that are made with lotion.

Put a tissue on the inside of the mask
If you tape a folded tissue under your mask at the bridge of your nose, it may absorb escaping moisture.

Buy a commercial anti-fogging product
If all else fails, there are products on the market that might help with constant fogging up.
