More than half of those asked in a recent study by Specsavers are concerned about wearing a face covering because they fear their glasses steaming up.

Foggy glasses may be a thing of the past thanks to a new range of anti-fog lens wipes available at Specsavers stores in Scotland.

Aly Uka, dispensing director at Specsavers Shandwick Place and Specsavers North Bridge, said: “Since the beginning of the pandemic we’ve had many customers come to us for advice as wearing a face mask causes their glasses to steam up, hindering their vision.

“Ever since we got the new anti-fog wipes in store they have been flying off the shelves. Customers are so excited to have finally found a solution to the problem. It’s been a complete game changer for those who wear glasses.”

The wipes are formulated to effectively clean dust and grease from lenses and help to repel condensation.

People who have glasses with special lens coatings also have no need to worry as the wipes have been thoroughly tested to ensure that there are no adverse effects, and they can be used with sunglasses and goggles too. 

Prices for packs of anti-fog wipes start from £5 and are available at Specsavers stores across Edinburgh; Corstorphine, Fort Kinnaird, Gyle, Leith, Morningside, North Bridge, Shandwick Place, Straiton.
