How to Stop My Racquetball Goggles From Fogging Up

Adequate eye protection in a sport such as racquetball is vital. However, a common frustration amongst players of sports that necessitate such protection is that fogging of the lenses is a constant problem. There is a scientific explanation for this considering that goggle lenses are either made of plastic or glass, and the temperature difference between the human body and the material creates an ideal environment for humidity and fogging. There are a few things that can be done to minimize this effect.

Things You'll Need

  • Goggles
  • Bar soap or liquid soap
  • Cotton cloth or toilet paper
  • Potatoes
  • Knife
  • Anti-fog spray

Instructions

    • 1

      Soften the bar soap by placing it for a few minutes in water, then use the knife to cut off a tiny piece.

    • 2

      Coat the entire surface of both lenses in an obvious film and allow it to dry.

    • 3

      Dampen your cloth or piece of toilet paper slightly and use circular motions to buff the film off of the lenses so that you can still see out of them. The application of the film creates a moisture barrier that prevents fogging.
