1. Finally, some good advice on this topic!

I've read all kinds of nonsense about it, including the non-working examples that he mentioned at the start of the video.

Saw one article promoting the soap idea, and it mentioned the water must be WARM when rinsing. That's the only reason it works at all, BRIEFLY, until the glasses cool down again and are more prone to condensation.

2. It was driving me crazy. Had to look for a solution. nt

3. I have some goggles that fit over my glasses...

... and that stops it too, but I'm definitely going to try the band-aid idea! Thanks!

I'm sure the goggles would fog-up too if I wore them very long while doing something strenuous. They're just sealed so my breath doesn't get inside.

7. Essentially, surgical tape across the top to direct air flow to the sides. n/t

8. A video is worth ... 12 words ?

I don't understand why people insist on making videos, when a couple of sentences of text will do the job. Technology-worship run amuck, I guess.

12. I appreciate the videos because you can see exactly how it's being done.

9. Funny, that that was going to be the next thing I tried. It doesn't happen with N95 masks at work

but surgical masks with glasses or hand-made masks for the grocery store, which I INSIST on wearing with glasses are a problem. Just ordered some of that tape before it disappears.

11. You can also use a bandaid if you don't have tape.

5. I wore a mask 12 hours a day, everyday for 30 years

Tape the mask across the nose and wipe a thin film of LIQUID soap on the glasses, don't rinse. Tape works better than band aids because the mask will remain unsealed in the spot under the non-stick pad.

6. I found if I pull my glasses down my nose a very slight amount

it reduces the fogging quite a bit. Not ideal, but thought I'd share.
