My wife and I are going to the US from Japan in roughly a month. Our first flight is something like 12 hours. Not going to be a fun one. I’m hoping her first time in the US and mine in 5 or 6 years isn’t spent with corona. We’re also visiting my elderly grandparents for what may be the last time, but I’d certainly rather not MAKE it the last time by bringing disease with.
Look into mask tape, it’s double-sided tape that goes along the inside bridge of the mask. I buy a pack of 100 strips on amazon and it lasts me a couple months. Cheap and easy and completely solves that issue.
Buy a few good reusable masks (that you can run through the washer) that have a metal strip inside to conform to your nose. Have the top of the mask up high on the bridge of your nose and push down on it so the metal strip conforms to your nose shape. Rest the plastic feet of your glasses on top of the metal strip, so that they’re resting on the mask and not on your nose. That’s what I figured out keeps my breath from escaping the top of the mask so it eliminates fogging.
You could use a bandaid to seal the top of the mask across the bridge of your nose. This will prevent air from escaping up and fogging up your glasses.
Looks like I’ll be masking for 8 hours straight on my flight home. It’s a bastard (my glasses fog up constantly), but that’s life.
I just hope it gets tamed before term starts since I’d rather not be forced to teach hybrid again (the style of lesson where every student loses)!

Will try this out - thanks for the tip!
Get a piece of tissue paper and fold it into a thin lengthwise strip. Put it on top of the bridge of your nose and underneath the mask. No more fog.
