Why do glasses fog up when wearing a mask?

Paradoxically, this means that the mask is doing its job. The air we exhale, instead of freely moving e.g. towards the interlocutors, is retained and released at the top. Doctors in operating theaters have the same problem as millions of people in a pandemic. There has even been a specific study on steaming glasses, published in the Annals of the Royal College of Surgeons of England. There is a simple trick that can help not only surgeons but everyone who wears glasses and covers their mouth and nose in connection with the coronavirus pandemic.

What to do to prevent the glasses from fogging up?

Solving this annoying problem is not at all difficult. To prevent the glasses from evaporating when they come into contact with the exhaled air, they must be properly “secured”. This is done in four steps. Meet this doctor trick.

Step 1: Wash your hands thoroughly with warm soapy water. This treatment should take at least 20 seconds.

Step 2: Wet the glasses with warm water, then wash them with regular soap. Do this carefully, but also gently so as not to damage the lenses or mounts.

Step 3: Rinse the glasses thoroughly under running water. So that no soap remains.

Step 4: Dry the glasses with a cloth. Make sure there are no streaks that could interfere with your vision.

That’s all. After following these four steps, the glasses should no longer fog when they come into contact with the air you exhale from under the mask.
