What causes lenses to fog up?
Fogging of eyewear occurs when tiny water droplets form on the surface of your lenses. This typically happens when the temperature of the eyewear is significantly higher or lower than the ambient temperature (the air around you). This temperature differential causes a fog-like vapor to cling to your lenses.
How does FogShield Sport™ eliminate fog?
FogShield Sport features a unique combination of hydrophobic and hydrophilic components that creates a protective shield across the surface of your lenses. This chemical composition contains molecules which work to evenly redistribute the moisture that collects on your eyewear allowing you to have unobstructed, clean and clear vision.
Will FogShield Sport work in hot and cold temperatures?
Yes. FogShield Sport works for any sport at any temperature! It even works in dry and humid conditions.

Can I re-use my FogShield Sport cloths?
- Item 8577SC and 8485—Anti-Fog Treatment & Lens Cleaning Systems
Since the tissue may become contaminated with dirt and debris that may scratch your lenses, we suggest you not reuse FogShield Sport. For example, you may use FogShield Sport to treat multiple pairs of eyewear for you and your family before skiing. - Item 8578—Dry Anti-Fog Cloth
The cloth may be used multiple times. Care must be taken to allow debris to become trapped on the cloth as the debris may cause scratches to your eyewear when you use the cloth to wipe the lenses. Place the Dry Anti-Fog Cloth back into the sealable pouch between uses.
Will FogShield Sport work on my coated lenses?
FogShield Sport is not intended for use with lenses that have an anti-fog or an anti-reflective coating. Nearly all eyewear features some type of coating to protect from scratching. These coatings are often hydrophobic (resistant to water) causing water to bead up and protecting against dirt and oils from your fingertips. In rare instances where lenses are highly hydrophobic, FogShield Sport may not adhere to the surface. Consult your eyewear manufacturer's cleaning instructions prior to using FogShield Sport.

Will FogShield Sport damage my eyewear?

While the Applicator Cloths are non-abrasive, there are some delicate lens coatings on the market that may scratch when you apply FogShield Sport.
