I usually wear glasses when doing the local caves, and
I get a lot of sweat in my glasses as well as fog
issues. I was thinking that contact lenses may be the
answer, my only concern being grit in the eye.
What has been your experience with contact lenses in
dirty caves?

You know there is a thing you can get at dive shops that controls fog on a
scuba/dive mask. You
might want to check out a dive shop - it looks like carmex - but you put it
inside the mask and
your mask doesn't fog up. You might want to go talk to those guys and see if
that would work.

The stuff you can put in your glasses is made by EK products and is oddly
named "cat crap" (it may be kat krap). You should be able to find it at any of
the Whole Earth Provision Co.'s, REI, or, as a last-ditch effort, Good Sports
in San Antonio. I hope this helps y'all out there...

We don't carry it at Whole Earth. I have had good luck
wiping fog preventative stuff on my glasses. In
Bustamante some guy named Ian (??i think)gave me some
squirt on stuff that to this day was the best stuff
ever. I've never been able to find it. Also, licking
them or dunking them in water in the
Dive mask stuff is usually some kind of Uberspit that you spray or drip on
and then wash off. I.e. it won't work without the water. There may be
semi-permanent anti-fog procedures, though. I know they make fog resistant
goggles and stuff. I'd still contact the dive shop. Just call one up an
I once found some fog resistant stuff that you can rub on to your glasses
and it works really really well, but i found it at the Strawberry Fest in
Poteet, Tx years ago. Sorry i can't remember the name, although I do
remember that it was green, of course I doubt that helps any.

Cat Crap, in its distinctive bright red plastic container, is available
from...ahem... IMO. Works great, and it's safe to use on any glass,
plastic, and all lens coatings. One ap
i use reddish blink. it cleans glasses and prevents fogging for about 2
days on one coating.

McNett Outdoors makes a product called OpDrops that works well on glasses.
This is a liquid, but they used to make a product called "Sea Ice" that
worked great, but was in gel form. I couldn't find sea ice on their website,
but here is the link to OpDrops.

My girlfriend is a nurse and works in an operating
room. They get little bottles of anti-fog solution for glasses with
some of the surgical kits, and of course some doctors do not
Thanks for all of the tips on contact lenses. I gave
them a try yesterday and they worked out well. I am
now a believer.

Aren't glasses a pain?!
I've had this problem ever since I started caving down here.
Here's a couple of simple recipes I found for anti-fogging spray.
I've used the recipe below that calls for nothing more than a couple of drops
of liquid dish detergent wiped on/off your glasses
after 25 years of caving with glasses; I have found that lasik vision
correction works best tp reduce fogging of the lenses.of course; now I need
reading glasses for sketching...

It wasn't too much of a problem, Mark, but that maybe due to the fact that I
wear a doo-rag under my helmet, so very little, if any, sweat gets on my
glasses anymore.
I need to do this, as I'm "folically-challenged" and have no hair to catch
the sweat.
The residue is so minute, I don
