Do you clean your glasses everyday? I used to have this problem all the time until I started using lens wipes daily. I'm assuming you're in the UK so this might be something to try, I use ones from Costco but idk if you guys have that there. You might be able to find smaller/cheaper packs at Boots or whatever drugstore too. Make sure you wipe down the nose pads, lens, and basically every part of your glasses, and do it every day before you put them on in the morning as well as after any heavy activities where you sweat a lot. You can also use plain alcohol wipes which might be stronger at disinfecting but that might damage your glasses over time if you do it everyday, I use alcohol swabs maybe once every 2 weeks and the lens wipes every day.
Second u/TwiztedZero: Zeiss disposable pre-moistened wipes (i.e. the same ones used for cleaning eyeglass lenses) are great for general purpose maintenance upkeep: amazon.com/Zeiss-Pre-Moistened-Lens-Cleaning-Wipes/dp/B0030E4UIQ/

Eyeglass cleaner
Heeeeeey glasses wearers! Last week I raved about silicone temple grips to help keep spectacles from shimmying down the nose and cutting off air supply. This week I'm going to continue on that theme with a couple of anti-fog reviews.
First I tried two home remedies to keep my lenses from fogging up while I run. The first is good ol' saliva. I horked a glob on my lenses, rubbed it around with my finger, gagged a couple of times, and begrudgingly put my glasses on. As soon as my spit dried, my glasses were left with streaks and splotches that were almost worse than the fog that happened before I reached the end of the block.
The second home remedy I tried was dish detergent. I coated a thin layer of dawn on my glasses and lightly buffed it with my tee shirt before setting off on my run. It must have been a self-fulfilling prophecy situation. I was terrified of my sweaty eyelashes rubbing against my lenses and picking up bits of soap to sting my eyes. And that's exactly what happened. Minimal fog, though!
I ordered a couple of products on Amazon to try as well. The first was a generic cleaning wipe that's apparently so generic and worthless, Amazon doesn't remember me ordering them. I've got the box to my left, and yet searching for it on Amazon and checking my order history yields nothing. As far as anti-fog properties, it yielded nothing, too. It did make my glasses pleasantly clean, though.
Up next we have Cat Crap. I was having flashbacks to the dish detergent day when I tried this stuff and my eyes could not stop watering. Or maybe I was sobbing. I don't really recall. What I DO recall is my entire run that day, on the lense I put the Cat Crap on, was so incredibly clear, I could see the reflection of my tears in my lenses if I angled the daylight just right. I ended up looping back to my car to coat a thin layer of Cat Crap on my other lense and buffed it with my tee shirt.
The last product I tried was Jaws Quick Spit. After cleaning my glasses thoroughly (that Cat Crap worked for a couple of days 'cause I'm gross and don't clean my glasses unless they're visibly soiled), I spritzed a bit of Spit on one lense, buffed it clean with my tee shirt. Are you seeing a pattern here with the buffing? It works considerably better with all products if you use a cotton tee over a dri-fit tech shirt. My lense only fogged up in the tiniest streak where I must have missed a spot. By the end of the day, they were right back to fogging when I opened the dishwasher too soon.
The Cat Crap ended up being my favourite for a couple of reasons.

The reason I don't like microfiber cloths too much, is that they retain all the dirt and oils you'll be wiping away. So after some time it will lose its effectiveness.

Edit: A soft cloth is fine too, just make sure to be very gentle and always use a blower first though, if there is anything nasty stuck to the lens, you'll just grind them into the lens and give them small surface scratches over time.
I use the ones made by Zeiss. They contain alcohol which should clean and sanitize. I get mine at Walmart, $5 for 100.
This product below was recommended by someone from Valve at launch, and I've been using them ever since on both my Vive and sunglasses. I thought I wouldn't like the separate packaging per swab, but it's a perfect amount of moisture every time and works flawlessly. I will be reordering when I run out (still have over 50% left, 13+ months later), and highly recommend them:

Well first off build yourself a top of the line pc with the new i7-7700k and GTX 1080 (or if money really isn't an issue get a GTX Titan XP and upgrade it to the 1080 Ti when it comes out lol).
Then make sure you have enough room. I only have 1.7 x 2.2m and it works great, but you can get up to 3x3m and over if you have the space.
The cord isn't too bad in most games, you will learn to just step over it. Certain games like Holopoint and Racket NX will have you spinning and getting tangled, but you can download a program called Advanced OpenVR Settings that will tell you how many spins you made in a certain direction so you can spin the other way ingame.
You will have a lot of add-ons to buy in a few months - Wireless (TPCast) , Hi5 Gloves , deluxe audio strap for added comfort , VR15 Rifle Accessory
And I 100% suggest that you buy a few of these sleep masks, cut out the middle, and use them as faceplate cushions instead of the default one, they are way more comfortable.
And get a box of these to wipe your lenses :P
That's for any ammonia-based or high-percentage isopropyl alcohol-based solutions, the single-use lens cleaner wipes are fine.
edit: this is an example of what I am talking about (amazon.com)
I use the microfiber cloth regularly to clean my lenses. Occasionally I use https://www.amazon.com/Zeiss-Pre-Moistened-Cleaning-5-Inches-400-Count/dp/B0030HG054 to wipe off any oils that get on the lenses. No issues in ~7 months of use.
I've got terrible vision as well and can't do much of anything outside of sleeping without my glasses. I throw a few lens wipes into my saddle bag for those times when my glasses get all sweaty and salt-encrusted. They're essentially just a cloth with alcohol but they cut through grease and whatever else you've got on your glasses quite well. I'd recommend them.
Aye, they seem to work fine. Iunno.

I've never thought of Norway as being hot, lol. Anyway, I never have this problem because I spray mine with an anti-fog product like this one before I use it. I've used mine in temps as high as 100 F (37.8 C).
I assume that you just smeared the dirt instead of removing it. Just keep cleaning until everything is gone.
I usually carry these with me in my camera bag:

They are ready-to-use cleaning tissues.
I used these on most of my stuff for awhile and they work great, much better then the cheaper Walmart ones that scratched my glasses.

Something like this: Clarity Defog should do the trick. I've used them on my radio control FPV goggles in the past but I was going to purchase some Z-wax this time around for my FPV goggles and my Gear VR. A lot of people use "Cat Crap" wax on goggles, Z-Wax seemed to have slightly better reviews though.
BTW, the anti fog stuff for cars only works on glass and is unsuitable for plastic lenses as /u/DiabolicSJ said.

I like to use these wipes also great for glasses.
I use these, on both my phone screen and the lenses, every time I use my Gear VR. http://www.amazon.com/Zeiss-Pre-Moistened-Lens-Cleaning-Wipes/dp/B0030E4UIQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1449864625&sr=8-1&keywords=optical+lens+wipes
For glasses, I've been doing well with this https://www.amazon.com/Clarity-Defog-Anti-fog-Reusable-Wipes/dp/B002BG588K
Make sure you wipe the glasses first with a microfiber and then use this wipe. They last quite a while and you can always refresh them during down time. Get both sides of your glasses. Minimizing anything in your mouth/nose area is good as well, you don't want to be blowing moist exhaled air back into the mask.
With i4's, you might need to switch out the foam as well. Unfortunately it doesn't have quick change foam so you'll have to get a kit with the cut out and glue. Its strange its so popular but its the only one at its price point for paintball masks without quick change foam.
I use Zeiss wipes as they are much safer and made for cleaning eyeglasses
https://www.amazon.com/Zeiss-Pre-Moistened-Lens-Cleaning-Wipes/dp/B0030HG054
They do make anti-fog lens wipes.
https://www.amazon.com/Clarity-Defog-Anti-fog-Reusable-Wipes/dp/B002BG588K
I'm not sure how well they'd work in your particular situation but they might be worth a shot.
Edited to add: There are a bunch of different types/brands available. You might want to check with whoever you got your eyeglasses from to make sure that whatever you want to use does not remove any anti scratch or other coatings you might already have on your lenses.

I like to keep a box of these on hand at all times...
They work great and safely clean everything from the screen to camera to fingerprint sensor with no risk of scratches or offensive chemicals that could strip any coating.
They're fairly cheap and easy to carry in your bag/pocket/etc if you need to take a few with you.
Had the same problem a few weeks ago. Got some cleaning wipes and gave it a good clean. Working great again. https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00IKGH2TI/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_sZ8QCb3K6ZTS6
PS. Any oil or dust will cause problems, ever a finger print.
Other options include the appearance package, MyFord Touch (is possible to get real nav on this even though it didn't get the $800 nav package?) and the backup camera.
I loved the color the moment I saw it. Sometimes I feel its a little on the girly side, but I don't care. The color is absolutely gorgeous. and the red stitching on the interior really brings it out.
Two complaints though.
I do. I use little wipes to keep 'em from fogging up. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002BG588K/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Check out theCarl Zeiss glasses cleaning wipes on amazon. Very handy and you don't have to worry about scratches.
I use Zeiss brand stuff, both spray and those wipes. I've never had an issue. There's others like it (my bro finds a canister of some local brand that also de-statics.)

This microfiber bag may solve your concern. I'm not certain the Vive would fit in it perfectly, but these are available in a few sizes, both smaller and larger.
Ive been using these
Seem to work well
Isopropyl alcohol wipes are probably the best thing to use however most of the times when I'm out shooting and the front element gets water, snow, etc. on it I just give it a quick wipe with my shirt.
Nikon sells wipes specifically for this but I'm sure you could find them somewhere cheaper.
Been using these moist wipes for years on my VR headset, they are great. Sometimes lens pen or lens wiping cloth alone will not do the job to remove buildup of crap on your lenses.

Plus the microfiber.
Dust gets on the sensor, no matter how careful you are. It won't be 'years' later.
It's not something to be super apprehensive about. It requires a bit of care, but don't be nervous. It's easy.
By a rocket blower... a good one. Use the Mirror-Lock-Up functionality of your camera to expose the sensor, and blow the dust off when necessary.
Eventually you'll have to.
It's way too easy to be hiring a camera store to do it. I'd be more worried about letting someone else do it than working on it myself.
I've been where you are, years ago... I was scared I'd mess something up, but here many years later, removing dust particles from the sensor, is old hack. I've never once had an issue.
I'm not sure which glasses store... the one in the mall here. I bet any glasses store would carry them.

Not sure about those wipes, but i was told to not use (liquid) cleaners – i think that there's maybe a kind of antistatic layer on it that would be damaged (like on crt-monitors)...
I've been using thses for years. I find them by the optical dept. at walmart, but i'm sure you can find them in other stores if you don't want to order online. they work great and they're convenient to use.
>But a move?
Yes, it happened to me.
>And are there any remedies beyond warm compresses and eyelid cleanser?
I struggled with it for about a year... what finally did the trick was using this product for about a month. Got it under control then finally fully disappeared after a month or two extra of use. Never had it again since. They also have the plus version which is for more severe cases. The "Plus" version can be kept on, while the normal version needs to be washed off. Think they also have some eyelid wipes which contain the formula in it but I never tried those.
Anyway, strongly recommend you try that product - the reviews speak for themselves and I personally vouch for it.
Good luck, Blepharitis is a fucking shit condition and when it's really bad makes you look like shit and feel like shit, I hated it to the max.
Np, 😉 The ones I got are just $12 for a 6 pack, Really good quality too.

Here's what I use:
For the lenses, the friction wrenches are used to easily remove the front ring off the lens (the ring with the wording on the front). Then for the interior rings you'll need the spanner tool; you'll see two notches directly opposite each other on the front retaining ring, so you'll use the spanner to remove that ring using the notches. Depending on the lens, there may also be some screws to remove before you can pull the front element out. If you need to remove the rear element, you can do that by going in through the back instead.
Either way you go, have a large workspace so you can place the parts on your table in the order and orientation that they need to go back in. If you need to clean the aperture blades because they're sticking, do so very carefully and try to avoid removing them. Getting them back together can be difficult; I generally avoid doing it at all costs.
If you're just looking to clean a dirty lens, the wipes I linked to above are excellent for cleaning the glass without messing up the coating. They wipe the fungus and dust off easily and dry clean. They're individually wrapped and they dry quickly once opened, so don't open them until they're needed.
I haven't had to fix an OM meter. The closest I've come is on my Mamiya 1000DTL, which had a meter that was inoperative. The problem in that case was that the wires connecting the battery terminal to the light meter had corroded, so the connection was bad. I snipped off the corroded ends and stripped a little of the insulation to expose the wire ends and verified the meter worked by touching the battery directly to the wires. Now I have to solder the wires back onto the battery terminal, I haven't gotten around to that part yet.

Alternatively, you can use something like this. They have antibacterial properties and are safe for any screens and lenses.
I've run in the original band four or five times now. It holds up just fine, doesn't slip. I don't realize how sweaty the watch gets until I take it off.

Never, ever, ever wipe your lenses with a DRY microfiber cloth.
Many of us Vivers use disposable, pre-moistened, individually packaged lens cleaner wipes.
I personally can vouch for these.
Just bought some of these which are Nikon branded, but look very similar to the Zeiss ones:
http://www.amazon.com/Nikon-Pre-Moistened-Lens-Cloths-Wipes/dp/B00WFELV1G/
Kinda ironic as I'll be using them on my Zeiss glasses lenses as well lol.
I use disposable lens wipes. Specifically these
They're one time use of course, but a box of 200 has lasted me over a year now. Your mileage may vary.
From home idk. Are you in the US by chance? I'll grab an Amazon link from the US
I use these:

Don't use on a PSVR if you have one though. Their lenses has a coating that gets wiped away with these.

Are you me? Ha ha. My pibble slings drool everywhere.
/u/peanuttown Is on the right track with his recommendations, but I'll throw out an alternate. I use Zeiss lens wipes to clean my camera lenses after weddings, and PC/phone screens. They're microfiber soft and I have numerous wedding photographer friends who've used them for years. In the 3 years I've used them I've never had a scratch, and I don't think they'll scratch any consumer products, but obviously you should do whatever makes the most sense for you.
Just as a quick question related to this: I'm changing cases, which requires changing motherboards. When I clean the CPU off can I use "Moistened Lens Cleaning Wipes"? I only ask because I have several of them lying around (they are Zeiss brand) and I'd rather not spend money on isopropyl alcohol if I don't have any around since I won't be using it for much else.
EDIT: To give a better idea, it's this product.
I use this. But i remember someone mentioned this cleaning wipe can scratch your lenses. I found no issue at all so...

> clean the smudges and lines on the screen
Not sure if you ever got an answer, but I use this for my mobile and tablet:

I also find these to AMAZING at cleaning up the gunk easily: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0009IQZH0/ref=pe_175190_21431760_M3T1_ST1_dp_2
I think everyone's suggestions then are great. The best eye pro is the one that you are willing to wear...if that's Oakley's, awesome, if it's the cheaper set that's cool too!
A defogging product may help as well.
I can Confirm these wipes left no noticeable issues after I used them four times. However since then I've decided to limit my use of them to only when absolutely needed. I'm hoping to only use them once a year or so.

Is that what you use? I'm considering buying some.
>I have seen people say they used Zeiss Pre-Moistened Lens Cleaning Wipes (http://amzn.to/1TDLFEV), but I am terrified of using anything since it looks like the official guidance is not to use any liquids at all.
They are being used for high end camera lenses... you are more than fine, I use them to clean my glasses and my Vive. They just have to write that in there because some idiot in the US will use 1l of that stuff and ruin his rift... they just dont want to get sued.
My preferred method is these Carl Zeiss lens cleaning wipes just enough alcohol in them and non abrasive. I use them to clean the entire phone. Start with the screen, then camera lens, then the rest of it.
Yeah dude I'll +1 these too. Use a microfibre cloth daily, and for really bad days, the Zeiss lens cleaners (every so often) are the goods.
6 months in, not a scratch

This is my go-to cleaning solution for all my gadgets, glasses, etc: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0030HG054/ref=sr_ph_1?qid=1449460249&sr=sr-1&pi=AC_SX110_SY165_QL70&keywords=zeiss+lens+cleaning+wipes
It works wonders. And given that it's intended for high quality glasses, it manages to clean oil, smudges and all without leaving scratches.
Use actual grip tape not the lizzard stuff and because your hands gets oily also so it will not slide around in your palm with the tape. That is why athletes use it
Also could buy a box of something like this https://www.amazon.com/Care-Touch-Moistened-Cleansing-Eyeglasses/dp/B01NCOUY05/ref=mp_s_a_1_4?keywords=glasses+cleaner&qid=1565512837&s=gateway&sprefix=glass&sr=8-4 the alcohol in it makes it dry fast without residue leftover and would take off the oil/sweat right away
I use a combination of stuff.
Rocket blowers are great for loose dust, but they don't get everything.
Dry microfiber cloths get slightly more stubborn dirt off.
Lens pens are fantastic for cleaning tougher stuff too.
If there are oils that other methods are not getting off, do a wet cleaning. Either lens cleaning fluid + microfiber or a pre-moistened lens wipe.
These work well if you follow the instruction to breath on lenses to fog then wipe with cloth. Do it twice and no fog. https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B002BG588K/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
First, get a blower and use it on your sensor and both ends of your lens from time to time. I also use Zeiss wipes on my lenses as necessary. I have cleaned my sensor several times, but that's something you should do very carefully with a sensor swab or possibly send to Sony (that's their recommendation). Hot breath and a cotton swab will work, but I can feel a Sony technician slapping me for saying it.
Yall need Lense wipes... http://www.amazon.com/Zeiss-Pre-Moistened-Lens-Cloths-Wipes/dp/B0030E4UIQ
