Paging the spectacle wearers

How do you stop them misting up? When I was younger visors misting up
was always a pain - that's been solved now for me by pinlock. Now I need
to wear specs, but I can't seem to stop them almost instantly fogging.
I've tried holding my breath but I can't quite manage the necessary 40
minutes to get to work.

 

I adjust the climate control but it hasn't generally been a problem.

 

It's not a problem I've ever encountered. Are your glasses actual glass
(IYSWIM) I have no trouble with my plastic lenses. My helmet (Shoei Raid
2) has close-fitting cheek pads and good ventilation so that may have
something to do with it - my breath goes downward and out of the bottom
of the helmet AFAICT. Might be worth trying a few out (with glasses on)
at your local emporium?

 

Snorkel?

 

Simon Wilson wibbled:

Cat Crap

 

Rain-X on the outside of the visor, anti-fog on the inside
and on the specs, if required, though it seldom is.

You can make anti-fog solution by dissolving a bit of Pears transparent soap
in 75% isopropyl alcohol. It's only a bit more expensive than buying
an aerosol of the proper stuff.

 

I think they're plastic, for some reason they just seem to get cold very
quickly. Just got a new Shoei X-Spirit, but it did it with my previous
cheapy helmet too. With the Shoei most of my breath seems to go straight
out, but still enough to mist 'em up, so much that I just have to take
them off.

 

Daily contact lenses.[/QUOTE]

Laser surgery? Or just give up and stay at home.

Vents open. Visor up or down, they still mist up.

Even, though I think they are available for astigmatism now, I don't
think I CBA with them, even if I could learn how to poke myself in the
eye on a daily basis. Not only that, I'm at that crappy stage where I
have to have one pair of specs for reading, and another for distance. So
far resisting the varifocal/bifocal option.

No thanks. One of my colleagues had that a while ago, and now he can't
see properly. Staying home's a possibility I 'spose, but a bit of a
waste of a bike.

Seriously, it's the only answer. You'd still only need one pair of glasses.

AIUI contacts are the best correction for astigmatism because they
correct the shape of light-gathering surface. I use them for swimming
and scuba. Varifocals are wonderful after about a week of getting used
to them (re-educating yourself to move your head so that you look
through the right part).

 

That happens more often than you'd think (and more often than the
companies doing the work would like you to think). Last genuine
(validated, as opposed to claimed) figures I saw said 5% "failure" rate,
but that's a catastrophic failure; if you look at how many people have
"ongoing issues" with them it's nearer to 15%, and I don't like them
odds. It's one of the reasons some of the companies doing the work are
doing one eye at a time, just in case ...[/QUOTE]

Which is, AIUI exactly what happened in this case. First 1 was fine....

If there's one thing I'd never willingly risk, it's my vision.

Shit really? **** What happened, and what are the results?

And what compensation have you been offered?[/QUOTE]

That's a 1, not an I.

 

I have soft toric daily disposibles - they're the best (as in
corrective) and most comfortable lenses I've ever worn, and of course
there's no fannying around with solutions etc.

 

I have never tried this but.....

Smear some washing up liquid on them, let it dry, rub it all off with just a
tissue until clean.

If you do give it a go report back.

 

Forget the washing up liquid and just try the used tissues beside your bed.
