I have Dye Invisions that have never fogged but I am in a pickle as I suffer (although not terminally) with myopia. My spectacular spectacles offer relief but have the tendency to fog during play. Very frustrating, as I can look over the top of them and see through my perfectly clean lenses, but my vision - and therefore playing ability - is hence marred.

I currently randomly employ the following methods to fix this:

a) using anti-misting spray on my glasses,

b) not wearing my glasses at all,

or

b) lowering my body temperature by bathing in ice before a game and holding my breath from the words "Game on!".


None of these offer a proper solution as:

a) the glasses inevitably steam up (or go streaky),

b) I cannot see the whole field properly,

or

c) I pass out.


So do I adopt single use contact lenses for the sport? Or is there a chemical I can use on my glasses that will not streak or smear but will guarantee non-fogging performance?

Or do I take up free-diving to encourage the ability of holding my breath for extended periods of time?

Your thoughts, please.

I've never found the anti fog sprays to work that well on my specs, but I do use a little pink stick from Hawaian enterprises which is an anti glare / fog formulation and get on really well with it.

You cna't buy it in shops or online, you need to get to a major motorcycle show NEC /Ally Pally etc.

The pink sticks are the only antifogging stuff that actually works for any length of time. I brought a load of them at the allypally bike show a couple of years ago and it's the only time i've seen them. the demo with steam from a boiling kettle was impressive
