So whats the bespectacled population to do?
Heres what I found out.
Thats all it took: my glasses fogged up pretty much immediately after leaving my building.
I also used hand sanitizer every time I put on or took off my mask.
I was using a reusable cloth mask I had purchased on Etsy.
Here are the results of my experiment.
I did the same thing, folding it and placing it at the top of my mask.
This actually worked better than the tissue paper, but was about the same as using nothing at all.
Again, I had concerns about losing any surface area of the mask.
But like the cheek-gaps method, it did prevent my lenses from getting foggy.
Still, going by the CDCs snug fit recommendation, this does not seem like a great idea.
This makes sense, but it all depends on what kind of cloth mask you have.
Others have used pipe cleaners or paperclips to the same effect.
Now the spectacle lenses should not mist up when the face mask is worn.
Sadly, my hopes for this method were dashed.
My paperclip version was not great.
But when in doubt, pretend like youre playing a flute and breathe downwards.
