I ordered my masks from the internet. Two in a pack, cotton.

When I get home, even just from a walk, I sling them into the washing machine.

I bought 4 packs, so 8 masks. So I always have some in the wash, and some to wear.

I have a ‘strap made of material with a large button each end. They were originally made for medics and nursing staff who got sore ears in the first wave. The elastic of a normal material or disposable mask is attached to the buttons and the strap goes across the back of my head.

RTR's link is just to arrange an appointment with an optician.
Specsaver's use Acuvue contact lenses - well they did when I wore them. They also give yu a free trial to see if your 'suited' to them - some people aren't.
May as well just phone up your local optician - it saves giving the internet all your details to sell on!

As for disposable masks - the bane of wildlife :-|

If you can get a mask with the metal strip on the nose if it's tight enough it will stop the fogging of your glasses, but not easy it really needs to be tight then also have the glasses resting over the mask a little.
I wear three-layer cotton masks with a 5 layer filter inside when I know I'm going to be in a crowded place. I wash them daily (the masks not the filters). I also have a couple of disposables in my pocket at all times for emergencies for either me or anyone I come across that needs one (OH gets them free from work and always has extras).
