Take a look at this. Scroll down to page 4 where he is talking about
eyewear. It is mentioned here that one "solution" is to rub
toothpaste on your lenses. I have NEVER heard of this as most of the
toothpaste I know of is and abrasive and would scratch the lenses.
Has anyone else even heard of this "solution"??????

Gel toothpaste can be used as a polishing compound, as it's a OOOOOO

leave a microscopic (and yummy scented!) film that presumably reduces
fogging.

I prefer Rain-X.
