Anti-Fog Products for Glasses: Do They Work?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 14 авг 2024
- In our usual unscientific style, we try to come up with some unusual ways to compare six different solutions for reducing lens fogging to find out if any of them actually work and if so, which performs best. The list includes OptiFog, Clarity Defog It, No Fog Cloth, a simple AR coating, and shaving cream.

Laramy-K Optical is a digital uncut and coating lab unlike any other. The only exclusively uncut lab in the country; we provide our customers with independent, high-end alternatives to corporate brands. Through craftsmanship, technology, and independent, innovative vendors like Younger, IOT, A&R, and Quantum Innovations we offer our customers the Integrity portfolio of freeform lenses and coatings. Made in the USA, the Integrity brand is not a generic house-brand, but is the absolute best available, designed to give the wearer that “wow!” experience.
In addition to the digital line, we still offer conventional surfacing, including glass. Maintaining traditional equipment gives our customers vastly more flexibility in their dispensing, particularly when it comes to more difficult prescriptions.

You are doing great job. Happy to appreciate your work. Keep working man
I standardly fog my glasses (prior to cleaning with a microfiber cloth) simply by holding the lens in my mouth, being careful not to touch any part with my tongue or other mouth surfaces, and breathing out. The water we give off from respiration is fairly pure and mineral free so as long as you don't accidentally get any saliva on the lens, you've coated your lens with what's pretty close to distilled water vapor. This both acts as a lubricant for the microfiber cloth and helps dissolve any water based dirt particles. I'd think this would be useful for testing anti-fog products too.
Hey folks - John here. The OpticianWorks videos are for opticians, they are not produced with the general public in mind. We test products that a retail optical shop might want to buy at wholesale and then offer their customers.
What about anti fog lens coatings?
We had spray opti-fog at a place I worked years ago. It was so good I used to use it on my bathroom mirror to stop it from fogging and believe it or not on an old car windshield when the defrost broke lol.
Great job but one item is always overlooked, I work in a restaurant and everything it go from cold to room temperature they fog up terribly. Usually while I'm carrying something. suggestions?
Truly not kidding or being a smart-a**, contacts! It is why anyone playing sports or any activity that requires a helmet tends towards wearing contact lenses over glasses. Really the only 100% solution I'm afraid.
sir plz tell me some hydrophilic polymer material like titinium dioxide used for as an anti fog glasses how they used the procedure and manufacturing need your help sir
Always appreciate your videos! Please keep up the great work!
Much appreciated!
Hello, I just wanted to share that astronaut Chris Hadfield says NASA started using Johnson’s No More Tears baby shampoo as an anti fog agent on space suits for space walks after the anti fog agent he was using got in his eyes during a space walk and caused him to temporarily loose his eye sight when it got in his eyes.
I looked up your video because i was curious what is out there. I found this bottle of something called Xene at the power plant where I work. The bottle looks really old and I can’t find it online. The stuff really works. It’s amazing. But it seems like it might be toxic. Not sure what it even is.
Thank you for the video.
Was the optifog cloth used on optifog lenses? I may be totally mistaken but I was under the impression it only worked with the matching coated lenses. Ive never worked with it though, so I honestly am not sure.
You are correct.
Fair call! I had it sitting in a tray with a bunch of other stuff. It said "fog" I figured I give it a try. We weren't testing specialty lenses with specialty treatments we were testing some anti-fog products.
Yes
So not a very fair test as you have to have the optifog lenses to make the optifog cloth any use. Also you have to use it each time you clean them.
I use a 'Neck Gaiter' as a mask you can find them at your local Walmart for $20 dollars. Least for me using the 'Neck Gaiter' as a mask don't fog up my glasses.
While it's not the best choice for a mask but least it will still have a use after the current world issue is over with. You can wear the 'Neck Gaiter' as a head bandanas and wear it damp to help keep you cool during those hot days. You can also just wear it damp around your neck to help keep you cool during those hot days.
Great test, can you please put the name of the winner in the description? It's too hard to figure out the spelling...

@@keithbenjamin6056 360 bucks! holy poop. It would be better for me to buy prescription swimming goggles.
Wouldn't be better to make use of lenses with antidote coating. I believe it is much better and more convenient. It was some good years ago and may be available from vision ease. Also, not every coy try has this product. However, I appreciate your effort and please continue the good work.
Now, how long will this NOFOG remain? 1 hour, 2 hours, .....
For the cloth of antidote, do we it need application on the ophthalmic lenses every hour, or how many hours....
I am from Canada, and the NOFOG, or antidote matters for me. That is important for me to have clear vision. Thanks again and have a great fruitful day.
I found that "refreshing" the products daily seemed the best approach. Working from home I don't have to wear a mask all day so I can't say for sure how long they might last.
Sir , what about polarised prescription glasses for preventing it from fog especially during mask wear
The Optifog Smart Textile is for Optifog coated lenses. The cloth is not sold to be used on non Optifog lenses. If you had used Optifog lenses they would have won hands down.
Fair call! I had it sitting in a tray with a bunch of other stuff. It said "fog" I figured I give it a try. We weren't testing specialty lenses with specialty treatments we were testing some anti-fog products.
was there any reason you weren't testing any of the pastes?
Good luck trying to find a place that sells the CentroStyle No Fog Cloth.
Recommend an online glasses store called fuleeoptical.com. They offer ANTI-FOG glasses for only $30. Pick a cheap frame you like and choose anti-fog glasses. Also get FREE ANTI-FOG CLOTH and FREE MEDICAL MASKS. Good Deal!
I don't think that's how you're supposed to operate an oven.
Anyway, in my experience a dishwasher tends to produce much more steam, because it actually uses plenty of hot water, unlike an oven.
I have such a hard time with mine fogging ☹️ they say set your glasses over your mask... But that's hard when you wear bifocals of cource. ☹️
Thanks for the video John! Just ordered a supply of the cloths.
You are most welcome sir! Stay fog free my friend. ;-)

Far be it from me to undermine your good work. That said, the oven thing... your face has to be right above the door when it opens. That's when the fogging happens.
Also, another great test would be a shower mirror. They mostly come with an anti-fog coating, but once that wears off (and it absolutely will), the mirror will never not fog during showers.
Well, you have undermined my good work and now I'm going to stick my head in the oven with the pilot light out and the gas turned way up. Oh, crap wait it is an electric oven - never mind. ;-)
For those asking, you can only buy the last product mentioned in bulk for about $160.
Yes. These videos are public but they are for opticians not consumers. We sometimes cover items that an optician would buy at wholesale and resell at the retail level. We are a wholesale optical lab with no retail/consumer contact of any kind so retail consumers are not our market. Maybe you can find a store that watched the video and now sells them individually. John
@@LaramyKOptical That won't happen. But I'm just glad you finally went into more detail that was not included in the video. Have a nice day.
Only ZEISS Anti fog spray working fine.
Great video thank you!
Are all these coatings and cloths safe to use? I'm noticing more reflection on C (No fog cloth) at 5:31
When you write, "safe" I'm not sure what you mean exactly. Lighting and camera angles make "seeing" the lenses very difficult. I don't think you can take anything away from a brief frame or two. John

Is there an optical term for the reduced optics from the haze of some of these products?
None that I know of. Moisture reduction application obfuscation or MRAO might work. FIB film induced blur. EFRPB exhalation fogging reduction produced blurring. Damn - no good vowels to use... I'll keep thinking.
@@LaramyKOptical FIB and EFRPB are pretty good! Thank you and stay tuned ;)
@@LaramyKOptical, I noticed a rainbow colored halo around light sources, when looking through foggy lenses. Isn't it the effect of High Order Abberations, because of the tiny drops staying closely to each other, which the fog is?
So, maybe "Reduced vision, caused by HOA" is OK as an optical term of this effect?
Please, correct me if I'm wrong.
Best regards

I purchase from amazon optic 55 Anti fog and it works perfectly for mask, but I went ice skating with a mask and humidity built up quickly. It didn't fog up but it made it worse.

Does anyone know where I can buy a single in the winning product. I want to make sure it work for my glasses for I go all out
SIOS Santinelli International Optical Supply
@@LaramyKOptical I don't think you read that quite right. She wants a single cloth, as do I. $160 for 32 is all I can find. Any help or a link would be appreciated.

Try Shamir Anti Fog and see the result.
I think the product themselves is engineered in error, or currently or was to complex. However today we have many more optiosn to revist the engineering of googles for absolute no fog.
Why, does it occur. It occur because of a temperature change on both sides of hte glas, which attracts molecules to move in that direction.
So old houses with single panes, verse double panes, verse triple panes. I have seen hydro phobic, and hydrophilic properties do various substrates like plastics ot sprays over teh GLass, or plastic to whatever various thing it is...
The question is the binding positio to the surface and ot eliminate that operation.
My stusy would involve...
single, double and triple isolated wall design/ sealing.
and electrical special surface design, but a wire method, or the len itself has small channels that slightly obfscate the lens, but superficial to the process of fog elimination. Just like the earth... its a gradient of movement of cold nad hot fronts and oisture content. So its predicatable to how it happens, its the method of prevention that I ma currious about. So hwo does one prevent it... The triple would be interesting because its creating and insulated varriable where teh gradient between teh substrates doesn't have a steep curve but is lightly offset.. and the centralized barrier would ahve no moisture inside to condensate.. so... the insulated varialble should keep two distinct temperatures. hmm
Is it possible for dispensing opticians to work as laboratory opticians if so, how?
Sure! But - most people that work in labs are not opticians since it is a different skill set. An optician with prior lab knowledge is an excellent thing. Lab entry level jobs are just that. The people that actually run/manage the labs and the equipment are in a league of their own.
This is great, thanks my friend! Do you know where I might find the "no fog cloth"?
Sorry about that. I was still pushing clips over to Keith at 6PM last night and he was editing into the wee hours of this morning. Looks like maybe a few items got left on the cutting room floor so to speak... Get 'em from SIOS siosoptical.com John

Nice video and good tests. There are some permanent anti-fog coatings (Opticote) that are applied (chemically bonded) when one orders a pair of eyeglasses. What's your opinion on those?
OptiFog (as mentioned in the comments below) is one of them. We get good feedback on them. Essilor had a no-fog product I'm not sure if they still do. Like AR since it is a micron thick it will start to break down as soon as it is applied. So you might have good results for 3, 6, 12 months (in my opinion). If fogging is a huge problem - creating dangerous situations I guess I'd give it a try.
@@LaramyKOptical Two questions 1. Do you apply such permanent anti-fog coatings in your lab? 2. For product C (No Fog Cloth) which seems to be the winner how long does the coating last with regular use?
My stores sells a product called Cat Crap the paste works better than the liquid.
LOL I ordered Cat Crap for the test at something like $6 + s/h. The USPS lost the order. Went back to reorder and it was up to $8 + $8 s/h. Nope...
I love your YT channel.
Greetings from Europe.
Thank you very much!
I want to do your course through your web site plateform since the messages not all of them get read even if you see them online on the plateform like periscope💧💧💧💧💧💧💧✌
www.OpticianWorks.com
Taping the top of the mask is the only thing that has worked completely. We have cat crap anti fog. How about against anti fog coating?

How's Jesse?
Still cookin!
@@LaramyKOptical keep up the good work really helpful video by the way! Say hi to Jesse too, haha! Cheers
Yes, I was at the San Diego county fair when your product damaged my glasses. Your employee asked to demo the product and scratched up my new glasses. Unsure if it is due to a debris on the rag, their hands, dust in the contain, or just the product itself. This product ruined a brand new pair of glasses. I have reached out four times to your customer support and no one has reached out to discuss the matter.
Sorry, but we don't make any anti-fog products. And we sure don't work county fairs.
