Smear the lenses with a spot of washing up liquid, wipe dry with kitchen roll and hey presto condensation free glasses! Sounds weird but it works.

Now that might be worth a try................

Don't fancy paying 10 euro from Specsavers for a special cloth !!

Agree with the Fairy Liquid method - I used to race motorcycles and wiping the visor inside with dilute solution kept in clear for four rainy laps of the Isle of Man TT...

Try soaking them in washing up water and let them dry by them self before you put them back on.

Has anybody got the answer to the problem ??

It's a real pain wearing a face mask when you wear glasses as they steam up very easily.

Not very good when you are driving !!

If you use surgical mask, first make sure that the mask is on the right way round, with the metal strip on the top and then pinch the metal strip to fit your nose and your glasses won't steam up. Medical staff do this all the time. It's just a matter of getting the knack right!

Wash the lenses in soapy water and then dry them. It should put a protective film on. face masks that have a metal strip over the nose bridge have a better fit and can also stop the steaming up.

Only breath through your nose then they don't steam up, tried it and it does work.

Either don't wear a mask when driving or doing something where seeing is important (most things, lol), or, as Kerley wrote above, tape the task at the top: which is what my optician did the other day when I was having a check-up.  Not so very convenient, but it did work.
