When Your Glasses Fog With Your Mask
Hello there! Some advice for all you folk that wear glasses with your masks and are suffering with the fog, adequately demonstrated by this meme, from me - your friendly neighborhood eye doc :D
Option 1: Big AF Glasses!
If you're a fan of the 70s aesthetic like me and wear big frames, now is your time to shine! You want the bottom of your frame over the top of your mask as shown below; this will help to minimize the fog (you may get some, but it will be minimal). My glasses are sitting lower than where I typically wear them; this may be uncomfortable if you have a high prescription
2) Tape Yourself In!
You can place a piece of tape across the bridge of your nose to help decrease fog. I prefer to tape down the whole top of the mask, I find it's much more secure that way. Pro tip from my favorite surgeon when we're in the OR: deaden your tape! This means, stick the tape to your shirt for a second and pull it off, THEN stick it to your skin. You can skip this step if you want, but you may tear some of your skin off with it (and from experience, that sucks way worse than any fogging)
(My glasses aren't on, but I didn't fog one bit)
3) Cat Crap (stop laughing)
This is an ointment texture coating you can apply to your lenses, a little goes a LONG way, and it does wonders for fog! It's safe to use on any lenses, including sunglasses! If you can't find Cat Crap, Jaws Spit will also work (it's used on swimming goggles and scuba equipment) - it works okay, but needs frequent reapplication
Stay safe, wear your mask, and wash your hands!!
