antifog
Clarity-preserving lens treatment
Antifog describes treatments, coatings, or products designed to prevent condensation from forming on surfaces—typically glass or plastic lenses, mirrors, or windshields.
Antifog spray keeps ski goggles clear; antifog wipes prepare bathroom mirrors.
The coating works by reducing surface tension so moisture spreads into a thin, transparent film rather than forming vision-obscuring droplets.
