Face masks for glasses wearers, any good solutions?

I've ordered some of those, they look like they'll do the job and they will probably come before the meeting I've got scheduled for Tuesday.

Please update once you've used them.
I've been suffering a lot from mask fog, too. It's a pain.

When the weather gets warmer it'll be much less of an issue as the temp differential will be less or non existant.

You're expecting 37 degree weather?

They arrived today. The instructions, what there are of them, are not very useful. I believe the idea is that you slide the top edge of the mask into a curved channel which is 3d printed and has a narrow part at the open end of the channel. Hopefully it will stay put when you've done that. I've tried it with the paper disposable type and it works reasonably well, just the occasional bit of exhaled air gets past the nose and causes a small amount of condensation, nowhere near as much as without the clip and not enough to be a nuisance.

I also tried it with a fabric mask bought from Etsy which it clearly isn't designed for, but I managed to force the top edge in and it works even better, no misting at all. I shall be going to a meeting tomorrow and will take both masks just in case the clip comes off one of them.

I recommend them.

h&m own brand facemasks work well with glasses , only issue is going in from the cold to a heated room.

I've got some of the anti fog wipes from Specsavers and a Fat Face (the brand, not because I have a fat face ) face covering. Seems to work pretty well.

If pulled tight enough behind the ears and formed over my nose correctly, Bad Obsession Motorsport masks do not fog up my glasses. They do filter very fine, so you need to put a bit more effort into breathing through them!

And for those using the trend face mask, you do know this does not filter outgoing air? - They do look scary though when you jump out of your house at trick or treaters on Halloween though! - but work amazingly well for being a DIY facemask.

I find that my frameless glasses combined with a cloth mask looped twice at the string works nicely.

If I wear my other glasses with full frames they steam up far more than my fancy frameless ones.

have you tried tape?

Some double sided or maybe a good old smear of Pritstick?

I have a couple of masks that have the metal wire at the nose bridge and toggles on the ear string to adjust them.

I like the puma masks (not for the brand but the size of the mask) and are comfortable.
I would prefer unbranded ones for work, but not managed to find anything similar (bought quite a few of eBay to try).

Hope that helps.

Those look to be the exact same ones (even down to the ribbed grommits) that I was issued by my work with the company logo on. The bag they were in was work branded and long since binned so I can't look to see who manufacturers them. But they may be out there.

If they are the same, if you dislike the lettering/logos, sent the mask through the tumble dryer and they will drop right off!
