Bausch & Lomb disperses the fog for outdoor sports enthusiasts

ROCHESTER, N.Y. Skiers, snowboarders and other outdoor sports enthusiasts in North America have a new solution to one of the biggest problems they encounter: fogging of goggles and face shields.

Bausch & Lomb recently introduced its FogShield Sport premoistened towelettes that simultaneously prevent fog from forming on goggles for eight hours or more and help keep lenses clean.

"There’s a solution for staying warm, a solution for staying dry, but there haven’t been many solutions for keeping goggles fog-free," stated John Stewart, general manager vision accessories for Bausch & Lomb. "FogShield Sport provides an easy-to-use, affordable anti-fog system to help prevent fogging that starts working immediately to provide clear vision," Stewart added. "Packaged in small foil pouches that are about the size of hand-wipes, FogShield Sport sells for about $2 per application."

FogShield Sport’s proprietary technology originally was formulated to work in the harshest industrial settings, and has been tried, tested and proven on professionals ranging from firefighters to hazmat technicians. The product’s effectiveness in eliminating fog in goggles was previously recognized by the International Association of Hazardous Materials Technicians as the Hazardous Materials Response Product of the Year.

“Since the product has proven extremely effective in anti-fog protection for firefighters and hazmat professionals in industrial environments, we believe it will be effective for skiers, snowboarders, paintballers and scuba divers," added Stewart.
