Glasses fogging up

My solution is contacts.

I've been using them for a year and they're great. You see much better
and you just basically don't have to worry about it for the whole day.
Put them in in the morning, take out in the evening. The only annoyance
is when they get a bit dry sometimes, but you just apply the trusty
solution and you're good.

i use that spray stuff meant to keep snowmobile helmets from fogging up
for my ski goggles, it works great. if it works for ski goggles it
should work for glasses.

Glasses with smaller lenses allow more air to get between the glasses
and your face and help somewhat. Also a sweat-absorbing layer on your
forehead helps a bit, too. For damp, night rides where I need my best
vision, however, I use contacts. I don't like them, but they are a
pleasure in wet conditions.

Yeah, glasses suck. I'm 43 and I've had glasses since about 10, in 3rd
grade. I clearly remember getting those glasses and losing all my
friends at the same time. Nobody wanted to hang out with a kid with
glasses. The stage was set for my life.

I've never tried contacts, as putting stuff in my eye freaks me out.

I'd like to try laser surgery, but I don't have the $. And I'd be
worried about future vision, like 20 years from now. OTOH I'd like
good vision now, when I can really enjoy it, rather than worry about my
vision when I'm an old man. At that age, I'm sure vision will be the
least of my worries, or so I hope.

But anyway, I am also plagued by fogging glasses. Particularly in
humid weather, or sweating in a helmet. About the only thing I find to
work is to keep good airflow around the glasses. And even then I get
lots of sweat drippings and other moisture that leaves nasty stains on
the lenses.

Yeah. Glasses suck. But seeing is better than not seeing.

Try one of those chemical treatments and report back how well it works.

There are two things that you can do.

One get smaller lenses. They let the air flow through better. the
Second thing that you can do is wear your glasses a little bit farther
away from your face. This keeps the lenses farther away from your hot
face and also lets the air flow through better. I know that it is
anoying but the alternative is riding without Glasses.

Have fun Riding!

The smaller lenses work pretty well. The other thing that I noticed is
that my glasses tend to fog up when I've stopped to take a rest. They
usually stay pretty clear while riding when there is airflow across
them.

If I notice that they are starting to fog up while resting, I just move
them a bit further away from my eyes until I start my ride again.

Ride faster so you get more wind going by the glasses. 😄

Exactly what I was thinking I just don't know if it would cause any
damage to the coatings on glasses. (like the shading)

I wear glasses, but, luckily for me, I can see alright without them. Is
this an option for you? I'm nearsighted so I basically just need them
for driving, watching movies/tv, and reading things that are far away.

I have the same problem as you, so I usually take them off before I go
riding. I can't wait to get contacts/laser surgery (I look much better
without glasses).

Unfortunately, I'm as blind as a bat.
My lenses are like the bottoms of coka-cola bottles.
Strangely enough I often find that just one lens will fog up.
Sometimes the left, sometimes the right.
Contacts are out of the question as I scream like a girl if a speck of
dust gets in my eye. Actually touch it!? Are you nuts!?

I will look into the visor spray.

My eyes are also not too bad. On a hot, humid or rainy day I can ride
or even play ultimate without glasses. At night, riding with a
headlamp is the only time absolutely need to have the corrective
lenses, so that's when I wear the contacts.

The solution:

1) Get contacts- I wear them somtimes but not alot

2) Clean you glasses with soapy water befor a ride- The layer of soap
prevents them from steaming up

3) Laser eye surgerary
