As the weather gets colder and mask wearing continues, those who wear glasses may face an unwelcome challenge. Here’s what to do to prevent your glasses from fogging up this winter.
Adjust or change your mask
Maybe your mask is causing the problem, but there are quick ways to adjust it to make sure you stay protected and still see clearly.
You can tape the top of your mask to the bridge of your nose to create a snug fit, according to Healthline. Another one of the site’s suggestions is to seal the top of your mask with your glasses so that it creates a seal to block air.
The problem may be that your mask does not fit well on your face, so purchasing the right kind of covering could go a long way.
“You want to make sure your mask fits securely over the nose. With glasses, a mask with a nose bridge will keep warm air from exiting up to your glasses as opposed to other face coverings,” Dr. Aaron Hamilton with Cleveland Clinic said.

Adjust your glasses
If your mask isn’t the issue, perhaps you should look into how you wear your glasses. Pushing your glasses forward on your nose can help air circulate better, according to University of Utah Health.
“This will allow that hot air to escape instead of getting trapped between your face and the lenses of the glasses,” optician Shannen Knight told the publication.
