One thing I do to keep water from beading on my sunglasses is to lick them
on both sides, then either swish 'em around in the saltwater a bit or splash
a little of my drinking water on 'em.  It seems to have the same affect as a
product called Rain X used on car windshields.  I don't think there is
anything special about my saliva, so it should work for you too :-)

BTW, in case you didn't know, this is the same thing a lot of divers do to
their masks to keep them from fogging.

Cheers,
Dave
