Aren't glasses a pain?!
I've had this problem ever since I started caving down here.
Here's a couple of simple recipes I found for anti-fogging spray.
I've used the recipe below that calls for nothing more than a couple of drops
of liquid dish detergent wiped on/off your glasses before entering the cave. I
did this just once on a Saturday when we went to Whirlpool in Austin. I made
two trips in and my glasses never fogged up and this has been a HUGE problem
for me in this cave in the past.
I also have two sets of glasses when I go on trips. One for getting to the
cave and back and the other set is for actually going into the cave. The latter
was ruined by using a dirty cloth to clean my glasses. D'oh!
Try 'em out and give us a report back. All the recipes are cheap.
Good luck!

I use my hand to spread shaving cream (not gel) on my husband's in-the-shower
shaving mirror, then wipe it off with a towel or paper towel, and it works
great - no fog. I have to do this about once a month. I never thought to try it
for the windows in my house that fog up, but I will now. Come to think of it,
my kids would have a blast spreading around the foam. If this doesn't work,
I'll try one of the other ideas. Thanx!

I usually wear glasses when doing the local caves, and
I get a lot of sweat in my glasses as well as fog
issues. I was thinking that contact lenses may be the
answer, my only concern being grit in the eye.
What has been your experience with contact lenses in
dirty caves?
