Do any of you wear glasses ? A lot of these masks will not seal if you wear glasses. Any thoughts ?

Yes. I wear eyeglasses. It is a bit uncomfortable using this mask as an eyeglass wearer, but it is a very good product otherwise. I have thought about being fitted for contact lenses, just so I can wear disposable lenses when using the respirator.

I don't wear glasses, but I used to (got lasik 5 years back and very happy with it!) So I'm very familiar with this problem. And yeah, I don't think these would seal with most glasses. Probably you should stick to the 2-part masks (safety glasses that fit over prescription glasses, plus a half-mask.) I know there also exist prescription safety goggles. My friend has some and he loves them. Depending on your prescription, they might be an option for you (I was too blind, so they didn't work for me.)

I always wear my sunglasses when I'm in the field and never had a problem with the mask sealing.

I wear contacts but it seems glasses would leak sound unless the ear cups are very soft. Haven't tried with glasses yet.Erik The Pope

Yes I keeps your ears warm it's great, but there is a problem of fogging up your glass. I do wear glasses and it happens a lot when your outside in the cold. I have been thinking of making two holes at the noses allow my breath to escape.

Prescription glasses? I wear -8.5 correction (very nearsighted). The glasses are those small "reading glasses" style which are tough with this style of mask. To make the mask work properly you have to carefully fit the mask then adjust the glasses along the internal mask. The trick is to get the glasses to sit on the internal mask while adjusting them outside on your ears. Doing so I was able to get into an eighteen inch high crawlspace then laying on my side remove a dead groundhog that was a week and half decayed. I had no trouble with seal or seeing. I have to emphasize - you have to work with the internal mask and your glasses to make this function. It's not a "plug and play" operation. So, yes you can use this mask with prescription glasses but it's not a trivial process. When you get it right the mask works properly and you can see. No fogging either.

It will not seal properly. It's itchy with just a bit of face fur. I've seen guys sanding with these on and take it off awhile later looking like they stuck their nose in the dust. They all had beards or something obstructing the seal allowing air in. I wore this or the half mask for 10 months where I used to work.

I bought this specifically because the half-face was fogging up my glasses. This mask has a good seal, and I have had no fogging issues what-so-ever.

I am not 100% sure as i don't wear any glasses. If i were you, I'd go and try a few different brands on at a local shop. See how others fit and you may that almost all goggle brands work with glasses underneath? Sorry, that's all i can tell ya.

You can loosen the goggles to make them less "suctiony" but the plastic seal may still be more suction than you want. It would definitely be worth a try. The mask is easy to adjust.

You will not get as good of a seal on your face as the glasses will break the airtight seal. This would result in (perhaps minor) leakage through the sides of the things you are trying to filter. The panel is relatively large and as a result the glasses will probably fit, it's the ear parts which are more of a concern.

I wear reading glasses and I've used them successfully. Keep in mind that your glasses could fog though.

I have glasses and love them. If they are too tight at first, try them with a baseball cap.

I wear a pair of Aquasphere goggles that are fairly large, it works just fine. Unless your mask sticks out well beyond the tip of your nose, the two won't interfere with each other.

I wear glasses, no problems here. Maybe my glasses are small enough to avoid fogging? Not sure.

I wear ultra thin titanium framed glasses. With these they are OK. I work out for 1 do 3 hours six days a week. On long days I just take the glasses of and fumble around the gym. The only bad thing is no glasses means its hard to make out the fine details on those fine ladies in their yoga pants. They do seem to be sweat proof which was my major concern. If you wear regular framed glasses they will probably hurt your ears after a while.

I have found it useless for my eyeglasses when I'm out hiking. I work up quite a sweat in our hills, and my glasses are usually covered in fog. This does not help a bit. If anyone has any workable suggestions I'd be happy to hear them!

I wore a pair of regular glasses with safety glasses over them. The ear cups sealed just fine, no problems.

I wear sunglasses and I haven't had a problem. These are some of the best for running. But I wear thin framed sunglasses. I do not wear glasses for vision.
