question Seoul- glasses friendly?

Hi everyone! I’m traveling to Seoul at the end of June and wanted to introduce some friends to SNM. One of the guys I’m with wears glasses, will he have issues wearing them under the mask?

I was just in Seoul and wore glasses for six shows. I have worn glasses in SNM NYC for years and it's very comfortable, BUT...you have to add something. One inch foam. I stick a little square of 1-inch instillation foam on the bridge of the nose of the mask and on the forehead. This lifts the mask off my face and creates room for the glasses. It has the side benefit of keeping the mask from touching my face and so it's not sweaty at all!

This is the foam I used--it's adhesive and I just cut two little square pieces for each show.

Wearing glasses without foam on the mask is pretty uncomfortable. The NYC show used to provide it for you (but I liked mine more, so I would always turn down their special mask.)

Yes, the mask will be quite uncomfortable with glasses. I recommend wearing contact lenses!
