Advice on foggy eyeglasses
 
This is my second year as a football official and I need to wear eyeglasses while working games. I have a problem with my glasses fogging up on humid or some rainy days. Was wondering if anyone knows of any antifogging solution they may have used that works to clear up this problem.

LASIK....that was my solution, and I love it. :-)

Cat Crap- Dick's was supposed to have it but my nearest one did not. I bought a can at REI, its about $4.50.

If you live in a large enough area that has a swimmer's supply shop, they probably carry items that they use on goggles.

I used rubbing alcohol. Once when out of that, used Listerine. (I don't wear glasses anymore.)

Contacts I've never had them fog up.

A fellow umpire who was on my crew for Mich LL state finals a couple of years ago used some sort of bees wax product on his glasses, but I don't remember the name of the product. Maybe that might help you direct your search. Sorry I can't provide more information.

I also use a Cat Crap, which I got at Dick's. You might also ask your local eye doctor / vision center for something.

Contacts

Contacts work for me. I wear the Focus Daily Brand and I mainly wear them for officiating.

Peace

I do the same thing, JRut. I wear daily wear lenses that I can get about two games of wear out of and I only wear them for officiating.

I shave in the morning in the shower. The mirror fogs up. I wipe shaving cream on it and rinse it off. No more fog.

I wear goggles when I umpire. They fog up. I wash them with shaving cream. They don’t fog up.

As for me contacts and/or laser surgery are not a solution, contacts never correct your vision to 100% (NEVER, it is simply the way it is) and laser surgery does not remove the need for glasses (just different glassses, so if I'm going to have to by different glasses after the surgery, why not just stick with the ones I have now?).

This may be your experience but in general that is simply not true and in fact, contacts actually greatly improve the wearer's peripheral vision compared to glasses.

In many/most(?) cases it does.

I have better vision with my contacts than with my glasses. As for the OP, what about Rain-X?
