Eyeglasses fogging up
 

Has anyone come across a product or home remedy the will prevent eyeglasses from fogging up in cold weather? I've tried some of the sprays but they don't seem to work. Any suggestions?

Have never used the products I'm about to mention because I leave the glasses at home, but try one of the commercial lens defoggers used by scuba divers. You might have a shop nearby.

Another one we often use for diving is a mixture of water and baby shampoo. You could try it in a squeeze bottle, but requires another container of water to rinse it off. I know it owrks well on my scuba mask.

I used a product called "Fog-tech" a year or two ago and found it to work quite well with my binoculars. I am not sure how it would work with your eyeglasses though.

4 bucks from campmor.com. It works.

I tried Fog Tech and find this to be far better and cheaper. FT has to be put on precisely in order to keep from streaking and it will smudge if touched. CC is a sort of waxy stuff that turns "liquidy" with the heat of your finger tip. Don't leave it in extreme heat, such as a car on a summer day, it ruins the integrity of the mixture and seperates it causing it to not work as well. Other than than, I've found nothing better.

Several years ago I used Fog-tech and was impressed with the results. Worked just like advertised. I've since had Lasik so I don't wear glasses anymore but I'd recommend Fog-tech.

I've given up on working on the glasses end of things. Now I try to find head/face gear that lets my breath through without fogging. Several years ago I found a nice knit type facemask, not too tightly woven(?),that allows my breath to go through and won't fog me up. I can even pull it up over my nose and generally not have a problem. Warm hat on the head and that over my face/neck and I'm toasty in our Midwestern weather! Sorry that I can't tell you a brand, don't even remember where I bought it. Just thought you might want to work from a different direction to tackle the problem.

I don't care about wearing glasses, no big deal since I've been wearing them since I was little kid. This ONE ISSUE is going to put me over the edge for surgery!

I had the very same problem for all of my hunting life. Then I found the solution...Lasik surgery. Now I have 20/20 vision and never have to worry about any of those solutions that only work a little bit for a little while!

Liquid dish soap works for me. Put a drop on each side of the lense and smear it all over the glass. Take a clean cloth or tissue and wipe it dry. Moisture will form on the lense but it will disipate quickly. They won't fog.

I was at the deer convention in bloomington this year. I bought some of this stuff called Emerald sStar. Anti-fog& cleaner, anti reflective coating, cleans & prevents fogging on glass and plastic lenses. I no when he showed me it, he put it over a vaporizer and it didn't fog.

Seem to work pretty good the first few times I used it. Then used it again and I remember my glasses were fogging up a little. Maybe I didn't put it on good enough? I'll try it again this week end to recheck!

I use to wear contacts a long time ago. Does anyone wear contacts inreally cold weather? Do they work ok or do yours eyes tend to get blurry?

thanks

Contacts.

RE: Eyeglasses fogging up
 

I found it impossible to put my contacts in at 3am and refused to sleep in them.

Then something about being in the woods with all the different focal points screws with my vision horribly (with contacts.)

I stick to glasses these days but have been meaning to ask the same question.

Now freezing rain is another story but Lasik is sounding better and better to me - except for the price!

My glasses are usually so dirty i cant see anyway, but on the rare ocassion they are clean, i try to find something to work. a few years ago my uncle bought some Scope Dope for his riflescope and i put it on my glasses and it worked like a charm.

RE: Eyeglasses fogging up
 

I used to always fog mine up when I had a mask on and saw a deer and started breathing heavily. I don't have that problem without a mask.

RE: Eyeglasses fogging up
 

I had Lasik a couple years back and loved it at first. Now my sight has fallen off to the point of needing glasses again...for distance vision. I prefer to wear contacts, but am out of them right now so I have the same problem with my glasses fogging up. I too need to find a solution, but have never thought about it when the time was right. I'm always in my stand when i remember it's a problem. :eek:

Rain x antifog works great. I drive a stockcar and use it on my helmet shield and glasses.

RE: Eyeglasses fogging up
 

i have the same problem

RE: Eyeglasses fogging up
 

The best stuff for this problem is Parkers Pefect, hands down!!! I been using this stuff for 10years IT'S THE BEST.

I have been using a dry cloth anti-fog that is impregnated with a dry powder made by Nikon and sold through Lancaster archery.....and the cloths are reusable........it works extremely well and we use it on our scopes and binos and glasses for 3D competition and it works great during hunting season on my glasses...
Another good one you can even try at home is smear shaveing cream on your clean bathroom mirror in a cir cle in the center of the mirrorand then wipe off with a clean dry towel....... now run a hot shower at let the bathroom fog up the mirror....... look where you had applied the shaveing cream the mirror dosent fog up;)and it dosent streak.
Some solutions that I hope will help for those of us whom cant wear contacts or afford surgery.

RE: Eyeglasses fogging up
 

might be best to get a pair of disposable contacts that you can use throughout the hunting season.I went out one season with my glasses and since then they stay in the case when hunting season comes around. I use the contacts.

Check out your local motorcycle dealers in your area. Most will sell some sort of anti fog cleaner or anti fog wax that you can try out. They sell it for helmets and goggles and on a motorcycle that stuff has to work

Recently, in our local dollar storeI picked up a tube of plain lipsyl. I noted
that it contained natural beeswax and parafin wax as well as other ingredients. I tried it on my eyeglasses and so far it seems to work as well as anything I have tried before eg. cat crap for one example.

I am also thinking of using it as rail lub on my phoenix crossbow. For a dollar a tube it could be a solution. If anyone else tries this let us know
the results. Anecdotal data is fine but we need lots of it to make a
scientific judgement. Its called the inductive method--If I remember my
science correctly.
