Title: Prescription eyewear fogging up?
Post by: keen on October 19, 2003, 04:21:40 pm

 My glasses are continually fogging up. Is there something that can be applied to the glass or ? I can't ride and constatly wipe the lenses. Thanx

Rain-X, the company who make the stuff to keep rain off your windshield, also makes an anti-fog treatment for the inside of your windshield. Seems to work well for lots of applications and doesn't cost much. I've used it for my diving mask in the past.

Other option? Breathe through your nose...  ::)

a lot of 'anti fogging spray's out there - just got to find them - some pharmacies carry them as well

for instance:

Try Cat Crap [smiley=diaper.gif]!!  Seriously, that's what it's called.  REI carries it for $4 and the stuff is like a wax that you put on with your finger and then buff out with a lens cloth.  Good stuff.

Divers use spit (saliva) to prevent their masks from fogging.  You may try wetting your fingers with your tongue and then wiping on the glass. (not a joke)

I have to agree with the above "Cat Crap" post-I used it this weekend during a race in the rain at Peekskill N.Y.  With cool temps and lots of uphill huffing it kept the lenses nearly clear.

Forgot to mention I also use the Rain-X on my outer safety lenses though Rain-X says it's not for plastic unless approved by the manuf.  I made up my script holding riding glasses from A/O safety glasses and a little Shoe Goo holding the lenses to the nose bridge which snaps out for easy cleaning/attachment to different tint safety glasses.
