Wearing Glasses and a Mask

The virus is stronger So far there is no cure We are told to wear a mask Anywhere we go Before we enter the store We must sanitizes our hands People that wear glasses Followed by a mask Have a small problem Their glasses fog up It is the sam problem With the glasses and mask The glasses do fog up Then we can not see So we take them off Wait for the fog to clear Then put them back on To see our vision clearly Although this happens I will wear my glasses So that I can see clearly The signs and labels I do not mind removing my glasses To let the fog clear up I rather do this so I can See where I go and read

Hello David Smith, thank you David, I will be looking for these products. The fogging of my glasses does cause me to have dry eye. So I use eye drops for dry eye. Which helps. Yes I am still posting. I will.Darlene in Canada.

Yes the one does not enjoy the company of the other, but yesterday, we went to our one sons as it was my birthday and we stopped to buy a few thing we need at a store, I saw no one without a mask and noticed two people being asked to turn back because they arrived without masks. As for my sunglasses I had on I soon took them off, as they steam up as much as reading glasses. Great poem Darlene, Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

I hear you, and have the same problem, Evelyn; personally, I do not believe this virus is any worse than the common flu which kills also. I do not wear a mask where possible, feeling that I am a senior citizen, one of the vulnerable, and wish someone would have asked me before all this nonsense began.

I hear you, very sad when children die -- for whatever the reason. There are sadly too many. But doctors need to start seeing patients again in their offices, making other arrangements for the particularly vulnerable. The disease exits but society wont if we keep shutting ourselves in.

Hello Joe DiMino, a 6 year old died from the Cornona virus so sad. This illness does exist. I don't know where you live. Yet here in Canada doctors will not see patients in their offices.If a person needs meds it is done from the phone.Enjoy your day my friend.

Though it's a struggle, it's best to both see and stay healthy. Just have to be patient and stay positive, and I think you're doing that very well. Blessings. :)

I am with Silent One on this. And not a mask sold can prevent it, such liars. But it's a cash cow now. So now they can push us around. The goggles are crazy. People should just wear HASMAT suits. All these tests are another cash cow, there is NO cure anymore than for a cold or flu. Need to stop bowing to government slavery. Life is not meant to be lived in fear. We all have a date with death,.i feel badly for you. Pangie xx

Hello Panagiota, It is the law here in Ontario Canada to wear a mask. Yes the masks are a cash cow, but it has to warn in stores, hospitals etc. Life is not meant to be feared I agree, Children must wear masks in schools now to. Hugs xxxx-oooo.

Hi Darlene My wife wears the visor over her glasses says it’s much more comfortable and does not fog up, and can be used as an alternative to the mask here in Ireland cheers David

Hello David Kavangh, I inquired about the visor when I went into a store that sold them. They told me that entering a store will not except people wearing the visors. So I am stuck to wear a mask. Cheers Darlene.

Tom is right about the lability.))) but governments treat us like livestock. Hello, we are human beings. Hitler, the monster had no respect for human life...so...wouldn't put it past any government to trash any one of us, sorry, they do not get my respect, Pangiexx they are goofy,
