Why do eyeglasses get foggy when you come in from the cold?

The lenses of glasses fog up when we come in from the cold because of a phenomenon called condensation. The lenses are cold, and when we enter a warm room, moisture in the air comes into contact with the cold lenses and collects there. The moisture in the air in the room has some amount of thermal energy that keeps it in the form of a gas or a vapor. But the cold lenses "steal" that thermal energy from moisture coming into contact with them, and the water molecules collect there. Those water molecules no longer have the thermal kinetic energy to remain in the air and condenseon the lens. There's a bit of extra detail in there, but nothing you can't handle.

How should I put my color contacts in?

For first-time colored contact wearers, Hamada says that it's best to start slow. "If you're a first-timer, it's best to wear them for less than five hours or what your eye doctor recommends Using tap water, bottled or even distilled water is never the substitute for contact lens solution." Tap water is not salty like tears are so contact lenses absorb the water and swell. Wash your hands thoroughly. Before you insert your contact lenses, it’s important to clean your hands to remove any dirt, hair, great, or bacteria that may infect your eyes. Open the contact lenses case. You should always leave your colored contact lenses in their storage case overnight. Place one lens on your index finger. Both your lens and your finger should be wet with contact-lens solution at this point. Make sure that the lens is clean.
