Every time I walk out of my air-conditioned office my spectacles...

Hi

Could you please tell me if this sentence is natural? Any suggestions are welcome.

Every time I walk out of my air-conditioned office my spectacles become misty.

Thanks,

Tom

PS: Any other word for "misty"?

It's OK, but "my spectacles mist up" feels slightly more natural to me.

Hi,



Where I live, the word 'glasses' is far, far more common than 'spectacles'.



You could also say that they 'fog up'.

Yes, that's true with me too (just didn't notice it).
