Winter is a beautiful season, with its snow-covered landscapes and cozy indoor gatherings. However, for those who wear glasses, it can also be a season of frustration. Stepping from the cold outdoors into a warm room often results in foggy lenses, obscuring vision and causing inconvenience. This common issue can be particularly annoying when you’re trying to read, drive, or simply enjoy a conversation. Fortunately, there’s a simple trick that my aunt swears by, which requires almost no effort and can keep your glasses clear all winter long.
Understanding Why Glasses Fog Up in Winter
The phenomenon of foggy glasses is primarily due to condensation. When you move from a cold environment to a warmer one, the moisture in the warm air condenses on the cooler surface of your glasses. This is similar to how a cold drink will sweat on a hot day. The tiny water droplets that form on your lenses scatter light, making it difficult to see clearly. This is particularly problematic in winter when the temperature difference between the indoors and outdoors is significant.
The Simple Trick My Aunt Uses
My aunt’s trick to prevent foggy glasses is surprisingly simple: she uses a small amount of shaving cream. Yes, the same shaving cream you might use for a morning shave. By applying a thin layer of shaving cream to the lenses and then wiping it off, she creates a barrier that prevents moisture from condensing on the surface. This trick is not only effective but also incredibly easy to implement, requiring no special tools or products.
