I never thought I would need to learn how to use a surgical mask from a surgeon. But thanks to covid, this was much needed and much appreciated. Thanks Doc! You were awesome. Yes, please make more videos. Your knowledge is more crucial than ever beyond the frontline workers. Thank you for your dedication to your profession. Your attention to detail >>> WOW!
I am a paramedic and I need my glasses to read the tiny drug vials and to start IV's. This trick is hands down the ONLY trick that has actually worked. I have tried anti-fog liquids, soap residue and even full face masks. Thank you for making this video..you are awesome !!
Thank you for explaining how the mask is adjusted to allow better breathing but less filtration and protection. There’s more to the design and wearing than I first understood.
I wear glasses and YES my glasses always fog up. Thanks for this tip. I made a couple of your paper towel face masks. They turned out great. I am making your plastic face shield next. Thanks for your helpful videos. Be blessed and Stay Safe🙏🏾😷
I'm no doctor or nurse or other medical worker, but I am so thankful for this video. I've watched SO MANY RUclips tutorials for how to prevent glasses from fogging up while wearing a mask, but they barely helped. I realized that, since surgeons have been using masks (for HOURS) even before the pandemic, a tutorial by a surgeon would be best. Glad I came across your video. This really helped me during this pandemic.
Thank you very much for the demonstration and explanation. I wear verifocal frameless glasses and struggled with fogging over last few weeks. I tried your method and I'm so happy to say it no longer fogging my glasses all day along. :)
I am amazed. I have watched a few of your videos and have 'liked' - and subscribed for more. What stands out for me is your clarity, calmness, and openness. To me it is amazing that someone as engaged as you are in your profession, you somehow have the energy and willingness to help others. Many blessings to you and your family - you are a world treasure.
I've been bending the wire against my nose and it doesn't fit well for some masks. Thanks for the pre-folding tip. I've tested it out and the seal is much better.
Thanks! This is the only video on this subject that has yielded any results. Well, positive results anyway. I need to wear a face mask in hospital (and getting there) for an upcoming procedure and the fogging has been driving me made while doing a bit of practice wearing. I had to manipulate the nose wire to carefully conform to my face, but it was worth the effort. There's a little mistiness at the edges of the lenses but it's acceptable.
Love your instructions...i found that if i tie a know in each ear elastic right next to the mask i get a near perfect seal and still breathe without excessive fogging
Thank you for the hacks! I wear glasses and I am starting my internship at one of Montreal downtown hospital in radiology and was thinking about getting contact lenses because my glasses get fog up most of time when I am wearing a mask. Thank you Dr Yang.
Thank you. This clarifies things. There are always questions though. There is a doctoral dissertation's worth of issues around untrained, unsupported people wearing any old piece of cloth in the grocery store and why we are told to do it anyway. Flattening the curve and so on. Pages of: yes but . . ., at the same time . . ., if this, then . . . Eventually I just decided to give it my best try and stop bothering people. Good luck and love to everyone. The bubonic plague came to an end and so will this. That's not much consolation, I know. 💖
Thankyou for your time to explain the process I really appreciate your guidance. Wish you and all frontline staff the very best thankyou for your great work.
I WAS JUST at CVS!! I haven’t been in a store since 3-13-2020! BUT, I have dry mouth 👄. I use cvs brand Dry Mouth Disks, with Xylitol! It works for a few hours and adheres to your gum, incase anyone out there has the issue☺️. ANYWAY, I was, of course in CVS buying these disks as was my daughter so we can get four packs because their essential for me and need multiple ones each night or I am suffering with my dry mouth disease. And when we got home I just said I don’t know how doctors and nurses wear these all day because just in the 10 minutes I was in the store my glasses were totally fogged!!!! AND HERE IS THIS AMAZING VIDEO!! So, THANKS Doctor Yang!!! I sure appreciate you!!! Truly, I do❤️😊👏👏👏👏
Thanks for starting your very informative video in such a delightful way! Now that I can keep the fog off my glasses, I just need to learn how to take the mask off without simultaneously pulling off my oxygen and losing my hearing aids. That would be a fun video!
Hi Joan, Another person commented about losing hearing aids also. They were commenting on one of my other mask videos, where I show how to make a headband using small rubber bands. ruclips.net/video/usKgChGqVl0/видео.html Here is their comment: Cosens-Prior • 7 hours ago There is a slight problem with this method. All the Kitchen paper roll I have bought is only 9" square so it makes the mask too small ie too shallow to go under your chin. Also the elastic bands are not good for people with BTE Behind the ear Hearing-Aids as the elastic can too easily flick them off! At £3000 for a pair for digital hearing aids this is not good news if they get pulled off and drop in the street. Though I do like the idea of linked elastic bands to make a strap for the top or back of the head that was a brilliant idea. I will need to figure out a way to connect the rubber band chain to a regular disposable mask.
Thanks for the Information. My Mask doesn‘t fit right on my Nose when i put it on in the Morning.( work at Doctor‘s Office) greetings from Germany 👋🏼🙋🏼♀️ Sandra ps.: You did a great Job 👍🏼
Thanks a million Doc, it was a real problem. Am being asked to return to work in NYC. I don't feel safe enough to get on the Subway yet, but this will make it more doable once I get there to work w/ a mask on & still be able to read my work. The fog was interfering. I sit here now typing w/ it on. Once adjusted as advised, no problem. A thousand thanks!!!
Thank you doc. Very clear instruction. Please cut the straps before disposing of the mask. It is safer for the fishes if it ends up in the ocean. (many masks ends in the ocean)
Thank you so much, Dr. Yang! I have watched several videos and yours has helped me the most. I am a teacher so I need to wear my mask a lot and to talk so fogging up is not an option! Hello from Israel.
This is the only & most informative video I've found on how to properly wear a mask if you wear glasses. Now I need to find a video on how to wear a mask with hearing aides on. LM
Thank you for this video. I'll follow your advice! I've tried many different ideas, even buying special (expensive) fog-free masks that don't work any better. I did this along with you and I've still got my mask on and I'm seeing to type.
Great video! If people want a more cost effective option ‘kinesiology’ tape comes in huge rolls and you can cut them into specific sizes. Also totally safe for the skin.
Thanks Doc. In addition to helping with mask fitting, you also answered another important question I had. I used to wonder why reacement knees could not be implanted until someone was almost dead, opposed to the years they would actually use their knees. After listening to your "non-mechnical" description of how to fit the mask....I realized; Dr.s are not mechanics, and Biomedical engineers aren't carpenters. Maybe multiple disciplines should collaborate on knee and hip parts as well as masks.
Thank you Dr. Yang, love your videos, very detailed and clear. Ditto others, you have a soothing voice. Look forward to your next video upload. God Bless and stay safe 🙏
Thank you so much for the tips :) I have just got some medical tape to use on my material masks as I'm travelling for a while on buses to and from work this weekend. Will definitely remember this 😀
Thankyou so much, i have such a mask only with ties, much needed advice for all those who need to go to opticians and been asked to wear a mask, can you imagine trying to say yes or no to which looks clearer with fogged up lenses!
I find a lot of the cloth masks sold that don’t have the metal bar thing that goes over the nose fogs up my glasses and then I actually can’t see. I’m sure many other people have this same problem. Even if I put my glasses over the top of the mask I have problems too. (Due to bone problems I have it’s very hard for me to wear a mask, but in case of an emergency I have to.) I remember a product back in the mid to late 70s (when I was a kid) that was an anti-fog formula for glasses. It would be nice if they still made that.
My nurse friend showed me how to wear my mask correctly and she said ALWAYS put the mask on and fit it to your nose and face BEFORE you put on your glasses. This way the glasses sit on top of the mask. My glasses never fog up using this simple and logical method! And it took her less than a minute to show me 🤷🏻♀️
I cannot use micropore on my face because of hyper-sensitive skin but I find that simply pulling my mask up a tad higher on my nose so that my glasses sit over the mask stops all the fogging. The mask is still below my chin.
Dr, You may recall I suggested using a soap solution impregnated into a home made mask as an extra defense against contamination. Earlier today, I experimented with my covering of choice, a double layer "bikers scarf" (aka snood) between the folds of which I slide a layer of 3 ply unwoven HEPA filter material. I took the scarf, made of elastic man made material, and coated a portion in a 70/30% mixture of liquid soap and water. The mixture was absorbed and I dried the scarf in the sun. When dry, there was no immediate indication of the coating, dry to the touch, not slippery. If touched with a damp spong, cloth or finger, the soap reactivated, slippery, but not so much as to become visually noticeable. If as suspected the virus reaches the outer surface of a mask on a "wet" droplet/aerosol, and if soap is in fact sufficient to compromise the surface of the virus, this may be a useful extra layer of protection? Since my "scarf" is independent of the filter I use, that should still provide protection as specified (HEPA = 0.3 micron). Any moisture from my breath escaping either through, or around my filter will of course also activate the soap, hopefully reducing my virus shed (if any). I intend to try the mask in public with the front facing layer coated. Hope this is of interest
Ha... I have discovered the same technique. But I can never figure out where to bend it, so I press the strip against my nose, then take it off and bend it with my fingers. Also, after you put the mask on, pinch the nose strip with one hand and you will have zero leakage.
The video is very informative about wearing the Surgical Mask. That's good useful Techie's. I wear the N95 Mask and also wear Prescription lenses when going out side I place my Mask in a position that it doesn't fog up my glasses.And if it happens to get fog up my Lenses it can block my view from seeing where I am going and that is very dangerous. Some People can get suffocate depending on the types of Mask.Mask is to protected others from Droplets to preventive from the corona virus.We of take proper precautions of wearing the Mask.Cloth Mask is easily to clean by washable.Some Masks you of to know how to clean them. When preforming duty Medically you of to wash your hands then place your gloves on your Mask before Attending to Patients. And Medical Personnel have a special Techies of Hand washing that they do by washing there hands.Wearing Mask outside in the public and also have hand Sanitizer just in case your come contact in touch surfaces. Virus sit on Surfaces. Our hands are contaminated with germs that why hand washing is very important to do at all times. Hand washing, Social distancing to protect yourself and others from the corona virus. Stay safe everyone.
some good advice, thanks doc, you can also use glass cleaner on your glasses and they won't fog as much, saliva works too if you don't have glass cleaner although it's not very hygienic spitting on your glasses XD
True. Some surgeons will seal the top well, yet leave the sides more loose for easier breathing. It’s a trade off. I personally pull it open for a better seal, but if I’m walking in NYC on a hot day, I will shorten the mask to allow more air to enter from the sides. When doing that I’m more carefully with staying 6 feet away from other pedestrians. If I can’t cross the street to avoid them or have no place to go, I’ll just pull the bottom of the mask under my chin for the better seal. The risk assessment calculation also needs some local COVID positivity rates. In New York, the rate of positive COVID-19 testing is ~1%. So in my mind, I’m thinking only 1 of 100 people who went to get tested is positive. If we assume this is a sampling of the New York population then if 100 people are in a large supermarket there is definitely 1 person in that store who is positive. Compare that to Houston, on June 1 the positivity rate was 15%. And on June 28, it was 25%. So 1 in 4 people are testing positive. So, in a supermarket with 100 people there are 25 people walking around that store (with or without a facemask) all breathing then same air as the other 75 people. How quickly will the other 75 get infected. If I were in Houston, I would be wearing the face mask as sealed as possible and probably adding a face shield. If the trip to the store is not absolutely necessary or the purchased groceries or items can be delivered to my home to avoid entering the store, I would simply avoid putting myself in a high risk situation. The name of the game is avoid the respiratory droplets. Imagine everyone is a smoker and you don’t want to inhale their smoke. How far would you stand? Would you be in an elevator with a smoker and not inhale their smoke. If you are in a room with smokers for more than a couple of minutes, you will likely inhale some of the smoke. Multiply that with the percent positive and that would be the chance of inhaling the Covid respiratory droplets. Here is an Instagram post from today about different risk situations for COVID-19 from the Texas Medical Association. instagram.com/p/CCbZFKfj4JX/?igshid=14fk6dx46pu95

Thank you Dr Wang, wearing a mask is a lot easier when glasses aren't fogging up. So many good suggestions for proper fit.
This works! Also, putting a tissue or square of toilet paper inside the mask, right above the nose, stops the fogging. It catches the moisture.
Thankyou for your time to explain the process I really appreciate your guidance. Wish you and all frontline staff the very best thankyou for your great work.

Thank you very much, Dr. Yang. you have saved my life due to this and I cannot thank you enough for it. Much love from Estonia.
Lots of good tips. Thank you Dr Yang. Stay safe.
Thank you for this video and for all your doing for patients in this exhausting and terrible time.
Thank you, Dr. Yang. I will try this technique. I appreciate your time in making this video for us.
Thank you, doctor. You are a fabulous, clear instructor.
Thankyou so much, i have such a mask only with ties, much needed advice for all those who need to go to opticians and been asked to wear a mask, can you imagine trying to say yes or no to which looks clearer with fogged up lenses!
You are a genius dr. Yang, I knew it a long time ago; thank you for these excellent videos ❤️
I've tried a few recommended techniques that didn't work. Hopefully this one will solve the problem :-)
Thank you for taking the time to make this video. Best presentation I’ve seen.
Thanks Doc, you're great. Very much appreciated. Stay healthy!
Dr. Yang, thank you so much for the informational and instructional video. You did a remarkable job and I hope you will be making more videos...

Yeh, Fogbuster was a great product, no longer around. Similar versions not nearly as good!
Loving the idea of the tape over the nose --- brilliant. Will definitely give it a go - thanks x
thank you sir, my glasses fogging with my corona maskhas been driving me nuts........i wll try it
Thank you, Dr Yang. U have solved my problems of wearing mask.
Thank you Doctor for your video. Information given really helpful.

Thank you for the tutorial. Your voice is comforting like Mr. Rogers (Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood). Hi neighbor!
Very helpful video. Can you provide a link or description for the micropore tape?
Excellent explanation, thanks for taking the time to explain such an important issue
I cannot use micropore on my face because of hyper-sensitive skin but I find that simply pulling my mask up a tad higher on my nose so that my glasses sit over the mask stops all the fogging. The mask is still below my chin.
Dr,
You may recall I suggested using a soap solution impregnated into a home made mask as an extra defense against contamination.
Earlier today, I experimented with my covering of choice, a double layer "bikers scarf" (aka snood) between the folds of which I slide a layer of 3 ply unwoven HEPA filter material.
I took the scarf, made of elastic man made material, and coated a portion in a 70/30% mixture of liquid soap and water.
The mixture was absorbed and I dried the scarf in the sun.
When dry, there was no immediate indication of the coating, dry to the touch, not slippery.
If touched with a damp spong, cloth or finger, the soap reactivated, slippery, but not so much as to become visually noticeable.
If as suspected the virus reaches the outer surface of a mask on a "wet" droplet/aerosol, and if soap is in fact sufficient to compromise the surface of the virus, this may be a useful extra layer of protection?
Since my "scarf" is independent of the filter I use, that should still provide protection as specified (HEPA = 0.3 micron).
Any moisture from my breath escaping either through, or around my filter will of course also activate the soap, hopefully reducing my virus shed (if any).
I intend to try the mask in public with the front facing layer coated.
Hope this is of interest

Thank you 💝
Dr Yang, Very good video, but I have a question. If you open the sides for more airflow doesn’t that risk the possibility of Covid getting in?
True. Some surgeons will seal the top well, yet leave the sides more loose for easier breathing.
It’s a trade off. I personally pull it open for a better seal, but if I’m walking in NYC on a hot day, I will shorten the mask to allow more air to enter from the sides.

How quickly will the other 75 get infected.
If I were in Houston, I would be wearing the face mask as sealed as possible and probably adding a face shield.
If the trip to the store is not absolutely necessary or the purchased groceries or items can be delivered to my home to avoid entering the store, I would simply avoid putting myself in a high risk situation.
The name of the game is avoid the respiratory droplets. Imagine everyone is a smoker and you don’t want to inhale their smoke. How far would you stand? Would you be in an elevator with a smoker and not inhale their smoke. If you are in a room with smokers for more than a couple of minutes, you will likely inhale some of the smoke.
Multiply that with the percent positive and that would be the chance of inhaling the Covid respiratory droplets.
Here is an Instagram post from today about different risk situations for COVID-19 from the Texas Medical Association. instagram.com/p/CCbZFKfj4JX/?igshid=14fk6dx46pu95
