Why do our eyeglasses fog up when wearing a mask? The answer is simple: condensation.
According to ophthalmologist Dr. Jesse Pelletier, recently quoted in Parade, When the warm and moist air is trapped behind your spectacles, microscopic water droplets collect on the cool surface of the lens, forming a layer of fog that makes it difficult to see.

I ve never been a schoolteacher, but I ve been a parent. I wish I d known years ago what I know now about what gifts of thanks teachers really want. I would have skipped all the Best Teacher in the World coffee mugs and gone more for the classroom supplies.
