When you depend on your eyeglasses for your every day or work-related use, you will face some difficulties when they constantly fog up. It will not matter if you are indoors or outdoors or getting in and out of your vehicle, when your lenses are foggy, you will have a problem to deal with.
When the temperatures are constantly changing, it can be easier for the weather conditions to cause your lenses to fog. For those who need eyeglasses or safety glasses for work, fogging eyewear can definitely be a huge frustration. Fortunately, there are solutions to a fog problem.
Why Might Your Eyeglasses Fog?
There are various factors that can contribute to your lenses constantly fogging. Some examples are listed below:
You have been standing outside in the sun and get into your vehicle. You will notice a difference in the temperatures, and your eyeglasses can start to fog.
Wearing eyeglasses or safety glasses that are extremely tight. When your eyewear is too tight, you are contributing to the restriction of airflow. When there is not enough airflow getting through, your glasses will fog.
Work Conditions
If you work outside when the weather is warm, you probably deal with foggy eyewear on a daily basis, especially if your eyeglasses or safety glasses have a face shield.
Although you can always take off your eyewear and clean the lenses, but who wants to constantly do that? There can be several issues that you may have to deal with if you are constantly dealing with foggy eyewear, such as the following:
When your eyeglasses are foggy, you will have trouble accomplishing the task at hand. If you cannot see what you are doing while working, you risk putting yourself and others at risk.
If you become so frustrated that you remove your eyeglasses or safety glasses/goggles, you are putting yourself in harm’s way. If it is a requirement to wear safety eyewear and you remove them, you are not following the rules and risk facing disciplinary actions.
Your production levels may slip because you are constantly worrying about your eyewear. If you have to constantly stop and take breaks to wipe your eyeglasses, you will not be able to produce at the level that is required of you.
