How To Prevent Your Glasses From Fogging? by Imondhk: 2:55pm On Jan 24, 2021
Glasses that fog is a common problem for many people. Fortunately, it is also possible to fix it. Let's see how to do it in the next lines.

Causes of fogging of glasses:

Before getting to the heart of the solutions to prevent glasses from fogging, let's see why the situation occurs, which is not simply annoying, but also potentially dangerous, especially for those who play sports. The main cause of the fogging of the glasses is the mix between the lowering of temperatures and the increase of humidity. At the base of all this, there is a very normal physical phenomenon, as well as simple to explain.

Our breath releases hot air. This meets the cold of the environment, creating condensation on the back of the lenses. The result? The annoying patina that, both when doing sport and when you are simply spending time chatting with a friend, prevents you from seeing what you have around you at best.

Warning: the phenomenon in question occurs only when you are standing still. If you move the wind manages to remove the hot air from the face, preventing it, in fact, from transforming into condensation.

How to prevent your glasses from fogging?

We now come to the gist of the matter, answering the question of those who want to understand how to prevent their glasses from fogging. The useful solutions in this regard are different. You can choose specially treated anti fog for glasses to prevent the air from condensing or rely on do-it-yourself solutions.

The anti-fog coating is objectively expensive. The glasses that have it are treated with a spray which, after being sprayed, solidifies and forms a protective film. Thanks to it, hot air does not form condensation when the lenses cool down.
There are also other solutions, much cheaper. Among the main ones, it is possible to mention the anti-fog sprays. Their use is very simple: you have to limit yourself to applying them on the lenses. They are effective, without a doubt, but they do not guarantee lasting effects over time like specially treated lenses. In short, each alternative has its pros and cons. You have to evaluate case by case and understand what is best suited to your needs at the moment.

How to use anti-fog for glasses?

First you need to read the manufacturer's instructions. Glasses need to be washed and degreased. Do not use alcohol or aggressive solvents for degreasing. According to rx-able.com Procedure:

• Dry the glasses away from sources of heat and light.
• In a warm room, apply the manufacturer's recommended amount of anti-fog to the lenses.
• Spread the product evenly over the lens surface.
• The glasses are covered with a napkin and left to dry for several hours.
• Then they are rinsed with a stream of cold water. One layer of anti-fog is enough for one workout.

Other anti-fog remedies:

When it comes to remedies to prevent your glasses from fogging, it is also worth remembering some cheap home remedies, to say the least! Perhaps not everyone knows that many sportsmen, to solve the problem of fogging of glasses, use very common products for cleaning the house and dishes specifically.

Yes, we are talking about dish detergents, neutral cream soap, and shower gel. Once again we are dealing with a very simple process. It is sufficient to wash the glasses, dry them with a very soft cloth and apply the product on the entire surface of the lens.
At this point, all that remains is to dry the glasses. Even before that, however, it is necessary to pay attention to the mixture of surfactants that characterizes the cleaning product. These substances are responsible for the reactions that prevent the air from transforming into condensation.
