Unfortunately no magic hack just yet. Some people suggest setting the bridge of the nose with lots of powder, or using an eye primer, or just skipping foundation on that spot. As someone who wears glasses every day I've tried them all and it's just something you have to live with 🤷🏽♀️
I bought these off amazon to keep them from slipping down my nose and while it did reduce transfer, they can get quite uncomfortable after some time :/
It's dorky, but I used these ear locks for my glasses when I was an EMT and still use them now that I work in a county morgue. They slip on and off, so you can even just keep them in your pocket and put them on when you're en route to a call.
Use your everyday glasses with these. They're really cheap and you can wear them everywhere. I've played pick up with these on and they never drop even with all the jumping.
Alternatively, you can try buying a glasses strap for sports.
Finally, you can try contact lenses but they only last for a month before you need to buy a new one again. Also with all the maintenance it's really a hassle.
Heeeeeey glasses wearers! Last week I raved about silicone temple grips to help keep spectacles from shimmying down the nose and cutting off air supply. This week I'm going to continue on that theme with a couple of anti-fog reviews.
First I tried two home remedies to keep my lenses from fogging up while I run. The first is good ol' saliva. I horked a glob on my lenses, rubbed it around with my finger, gagged a couple of times, and begrudgingly put my glasses on. As soon as my spit dried, my glasses were left with streaks and splotches that were almost worse than the fog that happened before I reached the end of the block.
The second home remedy I tried was dish detergent. I coated a thin layer of dawn on my glasses and lightly buffed it with my tee shirt before setting off on my run. It must have been a self-fulfilling prophecy situation. I was terrified of my sweaty eyelashes rubbing against my lenses and picking up bits of soap to sting my eyes. And that's exactly what happened. Minimal fog, though!
I ordered a couple of products on Amazon to try as well. The first was a generic cleaning wipe that's apparently so generic and worthless, Amazon doesn't remember me ordering them. I've got the box to my left, and yet searching for it on Amazon and checking my order history yields nothing. As far as anti-fog properties, it yielded nothing, too. It did make my glasses pleasantly clean, though.
Up next we have Cat Crap. I was having flashbacks to the dish detergent day when I tried this stuff and my eyes could not stop watering. Or maybe I was sobbing. I don't really recall. What I DO recall is my entire run that day, on the lense I put the Cat Crap on, was so incredibly clear, I could see the reflection of my tears in my lenses if I angled the daylight just right. I ended up looping back to my car to coat a thin layer of Cat Crap on my other lense and buffed it with my tee shirt.
The last product I tried was Jaws Quick Spit. After cleaning my glasses thoroughly (that Cat Crap worked for a couple of days 'cause I'm gross and don't clean my glasses unless they're visibly soiled), I spritzed a bit of Spit on one lense, buffed it clean with my tee shirt. Are you seeing a pattern here with the buffing? It works considerably better with all products if you use a cotton tee over a dri-fit tech shirt. My lense only fogged up in the tiniest streak where I must have missed a spot. By the end of the day, they were right back to fogging when I opened the dishwasher too soon.
The Cat Crap ended up being my favourite for a couple of reasons.
You can control exactly how much goes on your glasses, and the tiniest amount is really all you need. While the Spit worked as well as the Cat Crap, you're left to the mercy of the spray pump, and I had a lot of wasted product come off onto my shirt.
It's such a small, convenient container. It can fit into the tiny, unused pockets of hydration systems. It can sit unnoticed in a pocket. Hell, you can probably tuck it in your sock, not that you would have much need. As I said, it lasted for a couple of runs.
It lasted for multiple runs! Hell, my glasses didn't even fog up in the bathroom for my post-run shower.
Something like these that hook around your ears? http://www.amazon.com/Clear-Silicone-Anti-Slip-Eyeglasses-Glasses/dp/B00LWQSI7I
