This panorama is sometimes so frustrating that we have been forced to ask our patients to remove their facemasks while examined, increasing the risk of being infected. We consider it essential to share this small pearl technique that we can apply in order to avoid fogging during the examination; it is easy, and most importantly, without putting at risk the patient or doctor’s health. In our opinion, this is the first material to propose this technique.Keywords: technique, diagnosis, ophthalmology, enhancement, clarityPérez González DLoewenstein AGaton DDDove Medical PressarticletechniquediagnosisophthalmologyenhancementclarityOphthalmologyRE1-994ENClinical Ophthalmology, Vol Volume 14, Pp 4507-4509 (2020)
