Friends from southern China, welcome to Harbin, the ice and snow world! Before coming, you must have struggled with choosing between contact lenses and eyeglasses. In fact, no matter which you wear, you may encounter the problem of foggy glasses. Next, I will give you a detailed explanation on this matter.
Glasses Fogging When Wearing a Mask
In Harbin, wearing a mask when going out in winter is a standard practice, but it can easily cause glasses to fog. The exhaled hot air rises and condenses into tiny water droplets when it meets the cold lens. At this time, people wearing eyeglasses will feel quite distressed, with a blurry view and unable to see anything clearly. What about wearing contact lenses? Although there is no fogging problem, wearing contact lenses for a long time can easily cause dry eyes, and the eyes may also feel uncomfortable in the cold outdoors. Ice City Warm Sun has prepared a variety of cold-weather gear for you, such as scarves and masks, which can help you better resist the cold, reduce the upward flow of hot air, and alleviate the problem of foggy glasses to a certain extent.
Glasses Fogging Due to Temperature Difference Between Indoor and Outdoor
The temperature difference between indoor and outdoor in Harbin is extremely large. When you walk from a warm indoor space to the cold outdoors, or from the outdoors to a heated indoor space, your glasses will fog up instantly. This kind of fogging caused by temperature difference really affects the travel experience. For example, when you go to Harbin Ice and Snow World and enter the indoor rest area from outside, your glasses will immediately get fogged and you can't see anything. At this time, if you wear eyeglasses, you can only take them off to wipe. If you wear contact lenses, although there is no fogging problem, your eyes may be irritated when moving between places with large temperature differences. The down jackets and ski suits from Ice City Warm Sun have excellent warmth retention, which can help you maintain your body temperature and reduce discomfort caused by frequent transitions between indoor and outdoor spaces.
Secrets to Preventing Fogging
For friends wearing eyeglasses, you can try applying a layer of anti-fog agent on the lenses, which can effectively prevent the lenses from fogging. You can also wipe the lenses with soapy water; after drying, it also has a certain anti-fog effect. If you don't have these items, you can gently apply a layer of dish soap on the lenses, rinse with clean water and wipe dry, which can also play a role in preventing fogging. For friends wearing contact lenses, pay attention to keeping your eyes moist and prepare some eye drops.
