Q:
Glass Keep fogging up, What can I do? I saw earlier someone say that they had problems with glasses fogging up and now have no glasses. I have considered the new lens replacement procedure and wonder if any of my fellow forum members have had any such corrective eye surgeries?

My glasses are always fogging up, no matter what I do. I have spoke with oneperson who had this replacement surgery and say they can se fine now and wish, he'd had the surgery long ago. Here's the link for the info on this procedure.

Sounds like it would be a nice, helpfull sugery, but if they did happen to screw it up, what would happen?
I guess I'm not the one to talk because I have like 20-15 vision and I don't wear any glasses or anything. But my dad wears glasses when hunting and has the same problem. I heard someone mention that if you clean your lenses with soap and warm water, then let them air-dry, it will keep the from fogging up for a while, but I've never seen it done.
Friends that have been through Lasik love it. Contacts work well for me - just have to carry extra reading glasses (I lose lots of them). I wear Night & Day lens that last about a month. Went to extended wear when I sailed. It was near impossible trying to insert daily wear contacts on a bobbing boat.
Ask in a glasses store about antifogging cleanser. It may be that there is no such thing anymore, they used to have it when glasses were made of glass.
One friend of mine did have the surgery. She would not be able to see without having had it. Personally, I would not get it unless it was that serious. I wouldn't want to lie there awake while someone ran a plane over my eye, even with pain blockers.
old style shaving cream not the gel can be used to antifog your glasses works on mirrors in the bathroom also. just put some on there and rub it in like windex no water
I wear contacts and they work great for me. The soft ones like I have are supposed to stay in better and I have never had one fall out while hunting.
Bosch & Lomb does make a lense cleaner that inhibits fogging. I have used it on my glasses and scope.
I've never found an anti-fogging agent that worked long enough to do any good. I wear contacts for hunting only and, like MLH, take reading glasses.
I had the Lasik procedure 3 years ago and am not sure how I lived without it. I mean I love it being able to see first thing in the morning and not having to grab glasses or contacts. I am also a firefighter and when I am at the station and we are sleeping in the middle of the night and the tones go off it makes it that much faster to get to the rig and off to the run. For me it was well worth the investment. I would have paid double the price if I would have had to. Good luck.
Get contacts. They will work great. My sister has them and she love's them.

Lots of other great things in here.
I used an anti-fogging agent when I wore glasses and it worked pretty well however there were many times I didn't have it on and the fog from my breath messed up shots. I got contacts and that cured the problem. I have since had Lasik and that is the second best thing I have ever done (marrying my great wife was the first). I would chose it over buying a car, a new rifle, taking a vacation, or just about anything. It allowed me to see literally thousands of different color hues and details while hunting that I had never seen before. When I was explaining this to the doctor, he said that corrective lenses filter as much as 20% of the light spectrum stopping many of an object's colors from ever hitting our retina. Since then, life is better but hunting is exceptional. According to my opthamologist, although there is a chance that you can damage an eye with Lasik, there is definitely a much higher risk with infections caused by contacts, or eye damage caused by pokes from eye glasses.
if you wear a face mask cut a hole around the mouth to keep your glasses from fogging or get contacts
