I feel sure many people must be flouting the rules once airborne, and wonder how cabin staff are actually policing that situation,.
I too wear glasses and fully concur, which is why I won`t be flying anytime soon. Like a lot of ideas the wearing of masks is a good idea in theory but doesnt work in practice, other than for short periods. I think it would be unfair to ask the cabin crew to enforce it, which on some flights could involve tense and unpleasant situations with less reasonable passengers.
As for a solution, like most people, I wouldnt know where to start. Sign of the times I suppose.
