Finally, a solution to fogging glasses!

Like many of you, I have problems with my glasses fogging while wearing a mask—especially in this cold weather. I’ve tried no-fog spray, folded tissues, medical tape, you name it. The answer turned out to be double masking with the outer cloth mask riding just a bit higher on the nose than the inner medical mask.

Tissue was better, but the glasses still fogged when going from cold to warm—walking into a grocery store from the parking lot, for instance.

Back in June of 2020 my Son gave me this for Father's Day N95 https://envomask.com/

What a beauty of design, toughness, and ease of use! I use it about 45-50 hours a week and it is VERY comfortable, very easy to put on, stays in place, and easy to clean. I never have to actually touch the mask (only the straps) and best of all it does NOT fog my glasses. It also features replaceable filters.

Went online, for my windows to find something for the rain and it was simple works. Look in those directions cost a penny on the dollars might work for glasses.

I've been wearing the outside cloth mask very high, almost at eye level. That works best.
