  Optifog anti-fog system
=========================

Fog-free, clear vision with the Optifog system
----------------------------------------------

All glasses wearers have at some point encountered misting/fogging or ‘steaming up’ of their lenses. This is especially true when wearing face masks as the difference in temperature between the cold surface of the lenses and your hot breath causes water vapour to condense on the surface of the lens, obscuring your vision. The Optifog system stops this from happening, allowing you to work safely and effectively, with no distractions.

  Optifog's unique anti-fog system combines two patented technologies: Optifog lens treatment and a smart textile cloth with anti-fog molecules that activates the power of the Optifog lens. Simply wipe your lenses with the smart cloth and droplets that would usually obstruct your vision spread uniformly across the lens, in an invisible and fog-free layer.
