Light and fog
Summer in Hong Kong presents a particular problem for a particular group of people. The combination of hot and humid conditions with air conditioned buildings, taxis, busses and the like means whenever your mild-mannered blogger exits or alights, his glasses immediately fog over. It is not uncommon to see legions of glasses wearers wiping the condensation away from their bifocals. It's not fair and we're not going to take it anymore. I'm thinking of shifting to contact lenses. But I'm not sure how I'd clean the condensation off them each time, either. posted by Simon on 07.07.04 at 09:29 AM in the

You could fit some little wipers. posted by: fumier on 07.07.04 at 11:09 AM [permalink]The trick is to blink lots and lots of times. This also has a side effect of people giving you a wide berth. posted by: Mia on 07.07.04 at 12:31 PM [permalink]do HK optician's carry those anti-fogging thingy's that come as mini-aerosols? if not, subject your glasses to a (not necessarily though)weekly dip in this japanese-brand tablet thingy called Buku. they come in 20 tablets or somesuch per box. anti-fog guaranteed. posted by: the letter b on 07.07.04 at 02:50 PM [permalink]Personally, Simon, I think you should go for the thingamejig thingy that you wipe your whatchamacallits with. You know, that doodad... :-) posted by: sd on 07.07.04 at 04:23 PM [permalink]Use Rain-X. Several of the partially blind that I know swear by it. Okay, one guy who I know passably well said it works. He was imaginary. posted by: Jim on 07.07.04 at 06:57 PM [permalink] |
