Guide on Wearing a Face Mask without Fogging Glasses

1. Why does wearing a face mask make glasses foggy?

Human breath contains moisture. When wearing a disease-preventing face mask, breath will escape through the gap in the mask around the nose bridge. The humid weather makes water vapor hard to evaporate, causing water condensation on the glasses, making them foggy and difficult to see through.

2. Tips for Wearing a Face Mask without Fogging Glasses

Tip 1: Fold the upper rigid part of the mask inside

Principle: Folding the upper rigid part of the mask inside will reduce the contact area between the breath stream and the glasses, thereby minimizing fogging. This is an effective way to wear a face mask without fogging glasses that you can use in urgent situations.

Tip 2: Use a paper liner

This is a simple and easy way to wear a face mask without fogging glasses, widely adopted by many members of the 'four-eyed' team to prevent the spread of the Corona virus, protect against fine airborne particles, and safeguard health.

Principle: Human breath contains moisture, and placing a paper liner around the nose bridge will absorb moisture, preventing fogging of glasses.

Implementation:

- Fold the rigid part of the medical mask in a curved shape.

- Take a thin sheet of paper, fold it small, and insert it into the rigid part of the mask you just folded. Use double-sided tape to secure the paper to the mask and then wear it on your face as usual.

Note: With this method of wearing a face mask without fogging glasses, you should only use thin, single-layer paper. Avoid using overly thick paper, as it may cause the mask to bulge and obstruct vision.

Currently, earthworm tea is being rumored to support Covid-19 treatment. However, the efficacy of earthworm tea in treating Covid-19 has not been proven. Therefore, you need to thoroughly research what earthworm tea is to avoid purchasing products based on advertising claims.

Method 3: Use Medical Tape

This is a method of wearing a face mask without fogging glasses widely adopted by many doctors and nurses who wear prescription glasses.

Working principle: Seal the gaps of the mask near the nose bridge with medical tape to secure the mask, preventing breath from escaping from the top.

Implementation:

- Take a piece of medical tape, approximately 10-15 cm in length, and stick half of it on the edge of the mask (the part that contacts the nose bridge). Leave the other half exposed to stick onto the face. (You can purchase medical tape at pharmacies, with prices ranging from 25,000 to 50,000 VND per roll).

To prevent fogging, you can fold the mask's upper rigid part inside to minimize airflow to your glasses. Other methods include using a paper liner, medical tape, or anti-fogging products.

What is the method of using a paper liner to avoid fogging glasses?

Using a paper liner involves placing a thin sheet of paper around the nose bridge of the mask to absorb moisture from breath, which helps prevent fogging on glasses while maintaining mask effectiveness.

Can medical tape really help with foggy glasses while wearing a mask?

Yes, medical tape can help by sealing the gaps around the nose bridge of the mask. This prevents breath from escaping upward, significantly reducing the chances of fogging on your glasses.
