I have used a product called Cat Crap!! It is applied to clean glasses, apply a thin film and buff with a soft cloth. It was recommended to me by an optician and it works great! Lasts all day. I found it on Amazon!
I found that if I roll/fold a small tissue and put it at the top by the nose wire it keeps my glasses clear. It seems to absorb the excess moisture.
An old-fashioned home remedy that works great is to use a bar of soap. Rub the bar on the lenses (inside and outside) until there is a thin film of soap on them. Using a dry soft cloth (like a pillow case) buff the soap film off until the lenses appear clear again. This works okay using foam soap, it just doesn’t last as long.
