Reducing Eyeglass Fog

A set of tips in progress for my photographer friends who wear eyeglasses:

Defog that mask as best you can for your own sanity (and image creation).

This is a link to a mask bracket I've tried: Bracket to Prevent Mask Fogging

The bracket extends your mask farther from your face and glasses, preventing some fog, and alleviating that sense of suffocation.

After I use it for a full week I'll review it here. So far so good, in the day and a half I've used it.

Amazon and other outlets have more brands. My primary concerns in choosing this model and brand were: decent reviews, good design, and, most importantly, a very speedy delivery. My husband needed to have his on hand quickly. It’s not perfect but it's good enough if you tweak your mask.

You could possibly find a better model or price.

Most of these sites suggest using soap and water or shaving cream and water. You might want to check with your eyecare professional if you have a special coating on your lenses.

My favorite tip not seen elsewhere: Turn on autofocus!

Please let me know what works for you. (I might expand this and move it to a blog posting. I'll leave a link here.)

Good luck! Hope something here works for you.

Stay safe. Continue being nice; wear a mask. We'll get through this.
