My goofy question of the day

[mzgarden]

So, let me just say - I am almost entirely blind if I can't see out of my glasses (tri-focals, thank you very much) and I can't wear contacts because of recurrent corneal abrasions.

So -- how do you fellow glasses wearers keep your glasses from fogging up when you're working in the cold?  For example - trimming feet or milking  -- my glasses fog up so bad I can't see after a bit.  The air is so cold (below freezing) and the animal is warm and my breathing is warm which equals fogged glasses.

Have I missed a trick along the way? (she asked squinting through the fog spots).

It's been awhile since I wore glasses to do chores; however, seems I remember that, if I didn't let the glasses sit on my skin (under the eye), there was no fogging.

CAT CRAP..............LOL Rolling on Floor here!

I have no clue if it works or not but this is what I found....

To combat this annoying and potentially dangerous occurrence, you might consider adding a permanent anti-fog coating the next time you order a new pair of lenses. This coating is generally applied to both sides of your lenses and works to prevent water molecules from coalescing into a layer of moisture that obscures your vision. This type of anti-fog coating is applied once, as your lenses are prepared, and cured by heat or chemical process to form a permanent shield that needs no maintenance or reapplication.

If you have a pair of lenses that work perfectly well (with the exception of the fogging problem) and it’s not yet time to order new lenses, or if you encounter fogging infrequently and know when it will occur, you have another option. There are temporary anti-fog coatings in paste and spray formats that you can apply yourself to any lens. These include:

Fog Buster Anti-Fog Treatment System

Fog Free Lens Coating – in a two ounce pump-spray bottle.

Cat Crap Anti-Fog paste

Cat Crap Anti-Fog – in a paste format for rub on, rub off protection, available individually or in a care kit that includes a microfiber cloth and multi-headed optical screwdriver.

Cat Crap Anti-Fog spray

Cat Crap Anti-Fog – in a spray-on format, available by itself or as part of a larger cleaning care kit that includes a microfiber buffing cloth and optical screwdriver.

Directions are included with any anti-fog coating you purchase. Basically, you apply the substance directly to your lenses, either by spraying on the liquid form or dabbing a bit of the paste on to your eyeglasses. Then you wipe them off and buff them as if you were waxing a car or polishing a table; use a clean cloth to produce small, circular strokes until all traces of the applied product are gone and the lenses are clear. This coating will act in the same manner as a permanent coating but will eventually wear off and need to be reapplied.

If lens fogging is frequent nuisance for you, an anti-fog coating – either of the permanent or temporary variety – should prove a solid, low-cost investment in clear and trouble-free vision.

^ This stuff!!! We sold Fogdoc at our store, and it is awesome. Their liquid lens cleaner has some anti fog in it, but the paste is where its at. You apply the paste like you would wax a car. Rub on the lens (inside and outside of the lens) and let dry for 15 minutes, then buff off with a clean cloth.

It works incredibly well on any glass or plastic lens, so if you ever wear shop goggles over your glasses, or have prescription safety glasses you can use it on them, too.

I cannot recommend this stuff enough. It is an excellent product, and it is a very small company (a guy and his wife) which is near and dear to my heart.
