Glasses fogging up when wearing glasses

Rod and Liz from Waikanae

Hi, Being a wearer of specs which are not coated misting when I wear my mask is a real pain ,I have tried a couple of commercially produced products which do work , then I thought back to many years ago in the 1950s traveling on the buses in the UK and watching a bus driver take out a bottle of washing up liquid, smearing a little on a cloth and spreading it on the front window of the coach and then polish it off slightly till it was clear, I asked why he did it and he said it stopped his windscreen misting over. I now put a little on my finger and coat the lenses inside and out, polish them and it works, if you try it don't use to much, hope this helps
