Yes, you can wear glasses with a face mask
Wearing a face mask has become a crucial element in the battle against COVID-19. But for those who wear glasses, there can be a challenge: fogging up. When you exhale, the warm air can escape through the top of your mask and fog up your glasses. Fortunately, there are solutions to this problem.
Choose a mask with a nose wire
If you wear glasses, it’s a good idea to choose a mask with a nose wire. This wire can be adjusted to fit snugly against your nose and cheeks, reducing the amount of air that escapes and reduces the likelihood of fogging. Many cloth masks come with a nose wire, but if you’re making your own mask, consider adding one.
Avoid placing your glasses on top of the mask
Placing your glasses on top of your mask can also contribute to fogging. Instead, try to adjust your mask so it fits snugly against your face and leave a little bit of space for the glasses to sit on your nose. You may also try adjusting the position of your glasses further down your nose to keep them away from the mask.
Use anti-fog spray or wipes
Another solution is to use anti-fog spray or wipes on your glasses. These products can help prevent fogging by creating a barrier that stops condensation from forming. There are different brands available that can be found at your local optician or online at Amazon.
Consider investing in anti-fog glasses
If you wear glasses regularly, it may be worth investing in anti-fog glasses. These glasses are specially treated to prevent fogging and can make a big difference in your daily life while wearing a mask. Some popular brands include FogBlock, Optix 55, and Foggy Glasses.
