Attention, Glasses-Wearers: These Face Masks Won’t Fog Up Your Frames

During the coldest months of the year—especially if there’s rain or snow involved—preventing your glasses (or sunglasses) from fogging up can be a challenge. Throw in the added complication of wearing a face mask, and it gets even more difficult. Glasses are supposed to help us see, but when fog gets in the way, it’s a definite inconvenience. Thankfully, there are plenty of face masks for glasses-wearers that will help keep your vision clear—even when the temperatures reach record highs.

As someone who has over 30 pairs of sunglasses and wears prescription glasses while driving or at night, I understand the struggle of foggy frames. To top it off, I grew up in the south, where humidity was practically part of the family. When it came time for us all to wear face masks whenever we left the house, I knew there would be issues with my glasses fogging up. Rather than do a little research on the best masks for wearing with glasses, though, I simply tried to accept it. It wasn’t my finest moment, but I’ve learned from the mistake.

Had I just taken the time to read a few reviews online, I could have saved myself a lot of trouble. So, in case you, too, are a glasses-wearer who’s fed up with foggy frames, allow me to introduce you to some customer-recommended face masks that will keep you seeing clearly. Below, you’ll find 13 different face masks for wearing with glasses that get great reviews in that arena.

Most of these masks have a nose wire, so if you’re considering branching out on your own as well, consider that fact. Being able to contour the face mask to the bridge of your nose will typically aid in keeping fog away from your glasses. That being said, if you’d like to peruse some of the best anti-fog face masks, keep reading. Just remember that these picks are not meant for medical use—but can help keep you and those around you safe from germs (and foggy lenses, of course).
