How to wear a medical mask to keep your glasses from fogging up

The medical mask has a significant drawback - it is hot in it. The warm air that you breathe out is trapped and uncomfortable, and in the case of glasses, it also causes the lenses to fog up. You have to constantly wipe and correct them, and touch the face hands is highly undesirable.

To address this issue, the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department issued recommendation by wearing a medical mask. There are two ways to prevent fogging from your glasses.

First, fold the edge of the mask inward before putting it on.

The second method is to apply a little cloth to the mask where it touches the nose.

When putting on your glasses, make sure they fit over the mask, not vice versa.

In this way, the exhaled warm air will be trapped by the edge of the mask or by the cloth underneath and the glasses will not fog up.
