Fog be gone.

Hi friends!  If you are like me, you can’t believe it’s been over 2 months of shelter in place now.  Masks have become the newest accessory and people are having tons of fun with designs.  We all have our favorites, be it our local sports teams, Disney designs, fruits, vegetables, bacon, smiley faces, you name it, there’s a mask for everyone.  

But, for those of us who wear glasses or sunglasses, the FOGGING is frustrating!  I came across a cool solution (literally!) when researching how to keep the oculars on my slit lamp from fogging up.  The recommendation was to use a few drops of vegetable glycerine with water to clean the lenses to prevent fogging.  Naturally, my curiosity was piqued!  I measured a GLUG, (kind of like when you are cooking and pouring an unknown quantity of olive oil into the pan), anyhow, a GLUG, (maybe not a real word, sorry) of glycerine into a container of water and mixed it up with a Q-tip and proceeded to clean my oculars, all of my eye glasses and LO and Behold, NO FOGGING!!!!  The true test was cleaning Kathy’s glasses and she concurred with wide eyed wonder. Insert smile.

So, I leave you with this little tip and hope that you have fog less, mask wearing days ahead. Stay safe and healthy!
