It’s such a personal decision that we each need to make. I’m not judging you. Do what works best for you.
Do you know you can purchase face masks with a metal strip that fits over the nose? This little piece stops the glasses from steaming up since it creates a seal between your nose bridge and your glasses. We have a brand called ‘Tully’ which does this.
At least this will be an improvement for you. Maybe you can do this in stages.

Re: Will You Ditch Your Mask When Covid Restrictions Are Lifted?
I will be retaining my mask and keeping a social distance for the foreseeable future, others can do as they please and decide on their own level of risk .Every 10 days I have an episode where my heart makes me short of breath for about 12 hours and I have to use breathing techniques to complete the smallest of tasks including walking.
The thought of spending weeks in hospital with covid unable to breath without oxygen is my worse nightmare unable to move staring at the ceiling
. The vaccine decreases the chance of severe covid in most vaccinated people, it does not eliminate the chance of being ill with covid for everyone particularly those with comorbidities.
I consider wearing a mask a small price to pay for providing what is logically a degree of protection.

I stared wearing a home made mask on the odd occasion I had to go out before they were advised.I have read some data modelling suggesting that by august there will be millions of cases of the delta variant in the UK, if that is so the small number of vaccinated people that catch covid and need hospitalisation will still be considerable.
