- The fogging problem in Protective Sports Glasses is caused by temperature contrast between the “lenses” and our face, , especially in cold weather. Fog build-up is not the result of a glass or lens manufacturing defect, but caused by a number of factors such as perspiration, the user’s tear duct capacity and the temperature in the location where the sporting activity is practiced. This issue can be more substantial in highly curved or adjusted glasses over the face, as these shapes reduce the airflow inside the lens, preventing temperatures from equalizing.
- For this purpose, it is advisable to choose a glass size that, besides offering full protection of the eye socket, guarantees maximum air-flow between the air and the lens.
- VERSPORT eyewear are equipped with an ANTI SHOCK & AIR FLOW™ pad that, apart from protecting the face against impact, minimizes fogging by allowing the air to flow.
- In addition to this, the inner face of the lenses can be treated with an external anti-fogging product. VERSPORT commercializes these anti-fog treatments. Please ask your optician if you are interested in purchasing one of these products.
- In extreme cases, if the recommendations provided above are not enough to prevent fogging, please take your glasses to your optician in order to have a series of holes drilled in strategic parts of the lenses without affecting the field of vision in order to increase air flow and help solve the fogging effect. Please ask your optician about this possibility.
