Glasses-friendly N95 masks

[petrea_mitchell]

Do they exist? The ones I have have a tendency to displace my glasses upward far enough that I have a noticeable zone of uncorrected vision, and I can feel my scalp muscles all tense up as I try to look through the wrong part of the lens. It's nothing I can't handle for 15 minutes in the grocery store, but longer stints are going to be a problem.

I haven't found any discussion of this issue online when doing some basic searching, so maybe I'm just not doing a good job of adjusting the nose area?

Although the icon is of a cloth mask, I have for some time now used exclusively N95 masks, and I have not had any problems with my glasses, but that could well be the kind of progressive lenses I have. My glasses are somewhat oversized.

I mostly use KN95s from Amazon that Wirecutter recommended, and I don't have that issue, although living in a cold climate, I do often have foggy glases.

I have never found ANY mask that is truly glasses friendly. When I am outside going to the store etc my glasses ALWAYS fog up, no matter the time of year.

I use KF94 masks from South Korea. They are a much closer fit than most of the KN95s I've tried, so less glasses fogging. I will wear those when I drive between visits, for instance, not really thinking about them. They are 5-layer and very much the equivalent of KN95s for filtering.
