It's a major annoyance when your glasses keep fogging up. Due to COVID-19, wearing a mask causes glasses to fog up. Fortunately, we have advice on how to keep glasses from fogging up when wearing a mask.

Why do glasses fog up when wearing a mask?

Prior to COVID-19, fogging glasses occurred frequently when leaving a cold environment and entering into a warm environment. This happens because hot air touches a cold surface which results in condensation. The difference in temperatures between our warm breath and cool lens is responsible for glasses fogging with mask wear.

Without a heating element, lenses cannot be made fog-proof. Fortunately, all lenses from H.EYE include Clean Shield designed to get rid of fog quickly. H.EYE lenses use high quality multi-layer coatings made with nano technology to eliminate even the tiniest moisture particles from accumulating on your lenses.

Can toothpaste prevent glasses from fogging up?

Perhaps you have heard the rumor that toothpaste can help stop glasses from fogging. STOP! Do not apply toothpaste to your glasses. Toothpaste is abrasive and can potentially scratch your high quality H.EYE lenses.

The rumor likely began when somebody tried cleaning their dirty lenses with toothpaste. Any dirt or oil will trap moisture on lenses. Toothpaste may temporarily clean lenses but will result in microscratches which degrade their quality rapidly and keep glasses foggy longer.

A smooth clean surface is much less likely to trap fog on lenses. H.EYE lenses get rid of fog quickly because they block dust and oil from accumulating on your lenses. Clean Shield also repels water making H.EYE lenses super easy to clean and maintain. Next time, avoid using toothpaste and clean your lenses with warm water and a gentle cleaning cloth.

If are annoyed by foggy glasses, please make sure to be wearing lenses protected by Clean Shield from H.EYE. If glasses keep fogging up when wearing a mask it could put you in a potentially dangerous situation. Click here to purchase high quality H.EYE lenses today!
