The mask is fitted, the glasses – both at the same time does not seem to get along but in many people. The glasses fogging.
Behind the clouded point of view, a simple physical phenomenon hides: Warm breath of air escapes glasses through the respiratory mask tightly to the glasses.
The moisture in the air condenses on the colder glass. The condensed drops break the light and make for the limited view.
Glasses can be softened with a few simple tricks the Problem but something.
So the glasses are not fogged
“The mask should be placed as closely as possible – in particular, the upper part directly below the glasses,” explains Timm Koedel, a pharmacist from the University of Potsdam. The less breath flows air to the glasses.
His advice: “In self-made masks can be, for example, a bendable metal strap sewn in, pressing the fabric close to the skin.”
Another simple Trick is to put the glasses on the mouth – and nose protection so that the fabric is below the glasses frame. Then, the warm breath flowing past the air with a little more distance to the glasses.
A home remedy for the glasses, this helps to view Koedels also, is a mild liquid soap without alcohol. These should be distributed in small quantities with a fine cloth on the glasses.
After a short time, the glasses are not washed, but only dry polished. Through the thin soap film will not longer be able to settle out of the water in the breath on the glass.
