Glasses

Post by shpalman » Fri Sep 18, 2020 9:50 am

No, not a thread about the distinctions between drinking vessels and whether such a thing as a "plastic glass" can exist, but the idea that wearing glasses protects you from the covids.

Some consolation for how annoying it is that they steam up from your own breath.
... far thinner “membranes” cover our airways, digestive system and eyes. The role of these thinner membranes is to allow external things such as oxygen, food, and in the case of eyes, light, into our bodies.
I always eat via my eyes. They're bigger than my stomach.

Ah, that's a shame, I'd taken to not wearing glasses at the same time as a mask - I do struggle with the steamed-up-iness :geek:

I've attached these things to mine as more than once when removing my face mask they've gone flying.

I can't see without my glasses, so I've had to tackle this. If I get a really, really good seal around the nose by pushing that bit of wire into my skin then my glasses stay mostly clear. The only downside is that it gets a bit harder to breathe.

Glasses plus lab goggles plus mask is worse. Both layers can steam up if you get the gap just wrong. I've never before had to consciously control my breathing rate while pipetting.

WIth my mask in just the right position, my glasses steam up as I breathe out and unsteam as I breathe back in. It's quite fun to watch.

I find that my safety glasses don’t steam up while I’m moving. So there is an obvious disincentive to stop anywhere and actually do any work.
