How to Remove Fog From Eye Glasses

Fogged glasses can be a hazard during driving, athletics and in other situations where visibility is important. Glasses tend to fog up in cold weather and when the body is warmed up. A few helpful solutions can help you remove and prevent fog on your eye glasses.

Things You'll Need

• Anti-fog solution
• Dish washing soap
• Shaving cream
• Micro-fiber cloths

Instructions

1. Push your glasses down your nose about 1/2 inch when they start to fog. Allowing more air to flow between your face and the glasses will cause the fog to dissipate.

2. Wipe fog from your glasses with a clean micro-fiber cloth. Always carry the cloth in your pocket or purse for quick cleaning.

3. Wash your glasses with dish washing soap or shaving cream. Instead of rinsing the soap or shaving cream from the glasses, buff it off as it dries with a clean micro-fiber cloth. This will create an invisible film on the lenses that acts as a shield against fogging.

4. Apply an anti-fog solution to your glasses. Anti-fog products usually come in spray bottles or moistened towelettes. Be sure to use a spray intended for glass, not plastic. Clean and dry your optics before applying anti-fog solution. Follow the product's instructions for application procedures. Do not apply anti-fog solution to glasses that have a factory anti-fog coating.

5. Consider using anti-fog goggles that fit over your glasses if you are an athlete.
