Toray Industries, Inc., announced today that it will introduce the Toraysee™ Anti-Fog Cloth for Eyeglasses in mid-October, exclusively in Japan. This 15cm x 18 cm navy-colored item will retail for ¥880 (¥968, including consumption tax. It will be available from eyewear retailers, as well as from some Tokyu Hands stores, and through online and Toray shops around Japan.

Many people have found when wearing masks during the COVID-19 pandemic that eyewear fogs up from their breath. Even in the absence of masks, temperature differences heading into winter often lead to foggy lenses.

The development concept was to clean eyeglass lenses and prevent fogging with just one wipe of the cloth.

This keeps glasses fog-free for 12 hours. You can reuse the cloth up to 300 times and store it in a zipper bag to maintain performance for 12 months (results may vary according to usage environments). You can thereafter use the cloth as a regular cleaning item.

Toray debuted the Toraysee™ brand in 1987 to offer advanced cleaning performance for eyewear. The cloth’s ultra-fine fibers are 2 to 5 microns in diameter, for a cross-section that is about 1/1600th of a human hair. The fibers trap dirt in crevices that are invisible to the naked eye. The cloth can wipe away sebum and other grime that ordinary cloths cannot remove without damaging lenses.

The Toraysee™ line of unique cleaning products includes offerings for eyewear lenses, smartphone and other touch panels, as well as for accessories, watches, CDs, mirrors, and other everyday items.

Toray will continue to develop new Toraysee™ series products that deliver high-value-added polishing and wiping performance to make life better.
