Many mask-wearers have issues with glasses misting or fogging up when using a face mask. Glasses can get misty or foggy when warm air flows out of the top of your mask when you breathe out. The warm air flows over the cooler spectacle lenses causing condensation to form on the lens surface, resulting in misty vision. The moist air may also cause your glasses to slip around your nose making them less comfortable. To help, we’ve created this short video with some simple steps you can take to help reduce the misting or fogging. For more information, visit www.lookafteryoureyes.org

How to: Reduce foggy glasses when wearing a face mask

‘As we get used to wearing masks help reduce the spread of COVID-19, there has been an increase in people reporting eye discomfort while using face coverings. Optometrists in the UK refer to this as Mask Eye, or more technically ‘Face Mask-associated Ocular Irritation’. We advise that if you are affected by Mask Eye, it is important that you continue to use a face covering or mask to help reduce the spread of COVID-19. We have created this short video providing some simple steps you can take to minimise eye discomfort. For more information, visit: www.lookafteryoureyes.com

This video shows how cataracts might affect your vision. Cataracts are formed when the clear lens inside your eye becomes cloudy or misty. Cataracts may mean that you have to change your prescription for your glasses, and you may notice that your vision is less clear and distinct. Car headlights and street lights may become dazzling, and you may experience difficulty moving from shade to sunlit areas. If you have any concerns about your eyes, contact your optometrist.

This video shows how floaters might affect your vision. Floaters are small spots or strands which cast a shadow on your retina. These can be semi-transparent or dark, and appear to float in front of your vision. If you move your eye to look directly at the floater, it will move in the same direction. If you have any concerns about your eyes, contact your optometrist. You can find your local College of Optometrists member or fellow at www.lookafteryoureyes.org

What are those things floating in my eye?

Short-sight: Some people have eyes that are too long, so the light focuses in front of the retina (they are short-sighted). This means that they cannot see things clearly if they are far away from them (such as the TV or board at school). Visit our website to find out more: http://lookafteryoureyes.org/eye-cond...

How do you know if you are short-sighted?

Amblyopia: About 2%-3% of all children have a lazy eye, clinically known as amblyopia. This may be because they have one eye that is much more short- or long-sighted than the other, or they may have a squint (where the eyes are not looking in the same direction).

What is a lazy eye?

Macular degeneration (MD) covers a number of conditions which affect the macula. The conditions affect your ability to do certain tasks such as reading and watching television, but do not affect your ability to walk around as your side vision is not affected. One of the most common symptoms of MD is noticing that straight lines appear wavy or there are patches missing from your vision.

Have you heard of age-related macular degeneration (AMD)?

Astigmatism: If your eye is shaped more like a rugby ball than a football, light rays are focused on more than one place in the eye, so you don’t have one clear image. This may make it hard to tell ‘N’ from ‘H’, for instance. Glasses which correct this may feel strange at first, although vision with the glasses will be clear. Astigmatism often happens alongside either long- or short-sighted and glasses are used to make the focus clear. Visit our website to find out more: http://lookafteryoureyes.org/eye-cond...

Cataracts: Cataracts are formed when the clear lens inside your eye becomes cloudy or misty. This is a gradual process that usually happens as we get older. It does not hurt. The early stages of a cataract do not necessarily affect your sight. The main cause is age and most people will eventually develop a cataract in both eyes, although one eye may be affected before the other.

What is dry eye?

Flashes and floaters Floaters are more common than flashes, and look like small, dark spots or strands that float in front of your eyes. Floaters are very common and normally harmless. They are more common if you are short-sighted or as you get older. Some people notice they see flashes of light. These can be due to the movement of the gel inside the eye. Very occasionally, flashes or an increase in floaters can be a sign of retinal detachment, which needs treating as soon as possible. This is more common as you get older, or in people who are short-sighted or have had eye surgery. Visit our website to find out more: http://lookafteryoureyes.org/eye-cond...

What can I see floating in my eye?

Glaucoma: Glaucoma is a group of eye diseases in which the optic nerve, which connects your eye to your brain, is damaged by the pressure of the fluid inside your eye. This may be because the pressure is higher than normal, or because the nerve is more susceptible to damage from pressure. This may affect one or both of your eyes. There are two main types of glaucoma – chronic glaucoma, which happens slowly, and acute glaucoma which happens quickly. Chronic glaucoma is much more common than acute glaucoma.

Do you have glaucoma?

Long-sight: Some people have eyes that are too short, which means the light focuses behind the retina at the back of the eye (they are long-sighted). This means that they have to focus more than they would if they have perfect sight, particularly on things that are close up.

Are you long-sighted?

Presbyopia: When you are looking at something that is far away, your eye – if you are perfect sighted – is shaped so that the object is clearly focused on your retina. This means that the image is clear. When you look at something close up, for example to read a book, the muscles inside your eye that surround the lens contract to make the lens change shape. This focuses the light from the book onto your retina. The lens inside a child’s eyes is elastic, and so can change shape easily to enable them to change focus from looking at something far away to looking at something close up. As we get older, however, the lens naturally stiffens and so it changes shape less easily. This means that we can no longer focus on things that are close to us and have to hold them further away to see them clearly.

Eye examinations FAQ: An eye examination is carried out by an optometrist and usually takes about 20-30 minutes. Sometimes it can take longer if you need extra tests, but this is to make sure you can see as well as possible. As well as testing your sight, the optometrist will check the health of your eyes and look for signs of general health problems.
