Glasses fogging up when wearing glasses

Rod and Liz from Waikanae

Hi, Being a wearer of specs which are not coated misting when I wear my mask is a real pain ,I have tried a couple of commercially produced products which do work , then I thought back to many years ago in the 1950s traveling on the buses in the UK and watching a bus driver take out a bottle of washing up liquid, smearing a little on a cloth and spreading it on the front window of the coach and then polish it off slightly till it was clear, I asked why he did it and he said it stopped his windscreen misting over. I now put a little on my finger and coat the lenses inside and out, polish them and it works, if you try it don't use to much, hope this helps

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
