I’ve recently started wearing sports goggles for hockey as I can’t do contacts. I feel this one a lot. The fogging up and the constant sweating on the lens is never ending…

There are anti-fog products you can buy for that but I’ve never had great results from them.

Working through some of that now but the sweating and then cleaning the sweat off is making it worse. Still need to figure out a system where cleaning them doesn’t invite the fogging after. I think if I never sweated on them I would be fine for fogging up.

There’s your solution then: play hockey as lazily as you possibly can 😛

Motorcycles have something called pinlock maybe something like that exists for corrective goggles?

With my pinlock on I can drive in freezing weather and not fog up.

I’ve only been wearing glasses for a few months and only when I’m in front of a pc screen. How on earth does anyone keep them clean?

The inside part of your shirt around your waist is usually clean enough to just wipe your glasses clean without any cleaner. Rub in small circular motions until you get the entire lense

I wouldn’t recommend that if you have any special coatings on the lenses. Basically anything but microfiber cloths will scratch the coating.

I have transition lenses, and can confirm that any scratches on transitions are super small and unnoticeable

I’ve found that denim does a rather good job. I actually have a couple cleaning cloths cut from old jeans, but I mostly just use the leg of whatever pair I’m wearing.

I just rub mine on my shirt if there’s a smudge.

The longer you wear them, the easier it is. I didn’t get glasses until I was over 20. I wasn’t used to them, so I would have to clean them about every hour. Now that I’ve been wearing them for the better part of ten years, I don’t even have to clean them every day.

I’m honestly looking at getting Lasik just so I never have to deal with cleaning glasses so often.

I got LASIK earlier this year. It’s an expensive solution to the many small inconveniences that glasses have, but totally worth it imo.

I went from -5.25 with mild astigmatism to 20/15 eagle vision basically overnight.

I’m curious about how some people seem to think it’s a daily task.

Is this is a dust/smog thing?

I think, as another user here pointed out, that it’s more about how long someone has been wearing glasses and therefore how often they accidentally touch them. I’ve only been wearing glasses for about 6 months, so I accidentally touch them several times a day. I have to wipe them clean each time, and I need to wash them clean once or twice a week as the oils build up.
