You should have demonstrated this claim that the Vaseline prevents fogging. Surely this could not have been too difficult to demonstrate. Why didn't you demonstrate this?
I do this same hack, but with greasy foods like fried chicken. I take my glasses off while eating and just smear them all over the chicken. Then, I wipe the grease away on my shirt. This leaves a thin protective coat on my lenses that my pets really enjoy licking when I fall asleep on the couch.
I am a retired ABOC certified optician im here to tell you that putting a petroleum based product on some lens coatings will be a costly mistake. Most coatings like anti reflective coatings if cleaned with proper products will not fog up anyway.
I am "not" an ABOC certified optician, but somehow find your post to not only be valuable, but also intuitive; as in "No one should need a certified optician to tell them this is a bad idea!"😁😁😁😁😁😁😂😂😂😂😂😂

It's better to use superglue combined with cement, add a little toothpaste with baking soda and a tea bag, then apply the mixture to clean your glasses.
dont do this its bad advice, vaseline is petroleum based and weakens most plastics and rubbers vinyls etc unless they are specially made to withstand petrol products such as car tyres and plastic used in engine bays and under the car those are ok, but glass frames and other day to day item will become brittle or just totally fail, use just neat fairy washing liquid instead and polish it off with a dry cloth, it does almost the same job without destroying plastics etc
It also works with all kinds of dirt or oil. Simply put dirt on your glasses and remove it with a soft tissue to make your glasses clean again. Mindblowing indeed...
Actually, sandpaper with a little gasoline works better. Just remember to use a Zippo lighter to dry them when you are done, if you don't have a Zippo a regular lighter will work but you may have to use a little bleach and ammonia mixed together to help with the drying process.
Thanks a hairy bunch!!! I’m at the hospital!! once I put the Vaseline on the lens I couldn’t see where I put them … I sat down and they slipped right up my glASS end!! Maybe it would be sensible for you to state not to do this in the nude 😢
Any petroleum products which are used on plastic or acetate glasses surface will damage it in and also feel safe to carefully wipe it with clean clothes later on and waste your time because it would have collected a thick layer of dust
I find that the best way to guarantee optical clarity is to clean the lenses first with sulphuric acid, then follow the steps in this video. Hey presto job well done.
this also works awesome for contact lens, just dont mind the pain from your eyeballs being attacked by the chemicals in the vaseline, it's just cleaning the surface for 20/20 vision.
Actually, petroleum gel is one of the cleanest you can use on your body. No chemicals in it at all. Not much can grow in it either. Perfectly fine to use on eyeballs. Check dry eyes ointment. Not your contact lenses tho.
It actually does work the Vaseline when properly removed and rinsed does coat the surface, and they are clearer, seems like the petroleum cleans and restores the plastic lenses surface. Great, thanks for the tip.
@derekbilderoy7162 it does. I had to have a brand new pair of glasses repaired because I cleaned the lenses with dishwashing liquid. If you have a coating on your glasses, I wouldn't take the risk.
@@dizzylizzy7582 I used eyeglass wipes until an optometrist informed me, they were damaging my glasses. No one's mentioned this before ,I have all the coatings, and as someone who has needed glasses since the fourth grade, I'm an old lady 👵, it was quite a surprise. The optometrist recommended using warm water, not hot, along with dish soap and a lint-free cloth, such as my husband's T-shirt or microfiber cloths. Following this advice, my glasses have lasted two years so far.👓 🧐
25 years in optics....dawn does work but you wouldn't want to use it exclusively. Depending on how the lenses were manufactured will determine the coatings put on the lenses. Why risk it when actual lens cleaner is inexpensive
Serious question: I have some of what would technically be called Denatured Alcohol... it's about 75% Methanol and Ethanol with 25% water... would you recommend using that on my Leupold scope?

Regular Shaving Cream works great with anti fog on glasss as well on car windows, bathroom mirrors or just about anything you don't want to fog made of glass. Just put a small amount on glass and buff off.
I put cinnamon behind my door, vaseline on my glasses, drank apple cider vinegar, aluminum foil on my door knob and a plastic water bottle wedged between my tire.... My wife thought I was crazy and left me, thank you youtube.
kool!! i had a problem yesterday setting a scope on a AR platform rifle for my son. i kept getting sweat and fogging up bad. maybe this will work! thanks
Shaving cream does the same thing. You can put it on your bathroom mirror and wipe it off and then take a hot steamy shower and the mirror won't fog up. Less messy than Vaseline.
Vasoline works best after removing a growth from your skin for a biopsy. Smear the vasoline on the wound for better healing ( check with your doctor first!), THEN put your glasses on. That's how vasoline and eyeglasses should be used together.

Yep, vaseline consists of long-chain alkanes, just a bit longer than liquid paraffin (e.g. mineral oil/baby oil), an organic solvent.

Agreed. This guy is brainless
Also, washing-up liquid with lemon scent contains limonene, which tends to be not so plastic-friendly either in undiluted form.
Silicone lubricant if anything
Plus, a lot of glasses (lenses), are partially organic nowadays. This is a real no go.
Could it be he intended this to be limited to times you don't want to fog up glasses when it becomes dangerous not to see, like skiing or driving?
Best to lightly sand the lens first with 1200 wet/dry paper for the Vaseline to stick .
DO NOT FOLLOW THIS PERSONS ADVICE. YOU WIL FRIG UP YOUR GLASSES
@@STAY-GOLD-VINYL 😂 Pretty sure that was sarcasm as many of these comments are....
@@mruncletheredge if only you commented earlier.
Actually, NO! If you don't use 40 or 60 grit sandpaper, you will be disappointed!
I use a dremel sanding barrel to key the surface before adding vaseline
Always make sure you have your glasses' consent.
or hold them down good enough that they dont slip away until you're done
You're using Vaseline, how bad could it be?
I did this with oven cleaner for a very nice opaque finish for privacy from people trying to make eye contact.
I'm always amazed that people have the time to come up with these ideas. 😊
It also works with all kinds of dirt or oil. Simply put dirt on your glasses and remove it with a soft tissue to make your glasses clean again.

How to effectively turn your glasses into Mr Magoo's windshield
I did this to the windscreen of my car. It was quite difficult to get it under the tap to rinse off the soap but after that, it was all plain sailing.
Shaving gel applied in the same way then allowed to soak awhile before buffing stops fogging and repels water from glasses and visors too.
Shaving cream/gel on the inside of car windows prevents fogging too. It’s really helpful during winter.
You should definitely use this technique for your tv-set. No need to buy an 8k television.

This actually works but you should lightly scuff the lens with a nail file first.
Any petroleum products which are used on plastic or acetate glasses surface will damage it in and also feel safe to carefully wipe it with clean clothes later on and waste your time because it would have collected a thick layer of dust
Shhh, no spoilers. Most of us already know.
The layer is not so thick to collect dust and if you can put Vaseline on sensitive skin you can put it on plastic.
Shaving-creme would be a MUCH better solution; less messy.
THIS IS EXACTLY RIGHT!!!
I'm gonna try it. Don't wear contacts every day so this sounds great.
I put Vaseline on my glasses, I tripped,fell over and broke my arm!
Then you didn't follow his instructions properly. Being a doofus is your own responsibility.

Apply it to your bathroom mirror for fog free mirrors too.
Sandblast the lenses then use axle grease polish it off. Witth wire wool

this also works awesome for contact lens, just dont mind the pain from your eyeballs being attacked by the chemicals in the vaseline, it's just cleaning the surface for 20/20 vision.

at all. Not much can grow in it either.
Perfectly fine to use on eyeballs.
Check dry eyes ointment.
Not your contact lenses tho.
Will the petroleum based Vaseline damage UV or anti-glare coatings on the lenses?
It's a joke, don't do it...
yes it would, use silicone oil instead
Yes but they don't fog up any more.
Probably.... But I find Super Glue with a pinch of Himalayan Sea Salt does the trick.*
*Please don't follow my advice.
Yes, but the UV and anti glare coatings will be the least of your worries after you apply the Vaseline.

April Fools… 😂 now you can’t see anything but SHMEEEARRR
If you have a coating on your glasses, don't use dish washing soap. It ruins the coating. Been there, done that.
Wouldn’t Vaseline cause dust and airborne particles to collect on the lenses?
It doesn't. I used dish washing soap for over 8 years on a pair of glasses and the coatings were still functional.
@derekbilderoy7162 it does. I had to have a brand new pair of glasses repaired because I cleaned the lenses with dishwashing liquid. If you have a coating on your glasses, I wouldn't take the risk.
