We recently received a mandate to wear masks on position and I have been complying with that; however the masks cause my glasses to fog up.  This is a problem with all the FAA issued masks; and the disposable masks.  There are no masks that don't cause my glasses to fog up.  I have tried the tape tricks and all the bending and positioning tricks that I can think of and my glasses still fog up.Since the FAA has mandated this; it has been a problem.Essentially; the FAA is asking me to void my medical every time I am on position.  If I do not wear my glasses; my medical is invalid.  Having fogged up glasses is like not wearing them at all; as far as vision goes.Allow us to take our masks off on position.  That would fix the problem.
TRACON Controller reported wearing an FAA mandated face mask is fogging up the Controller's glasses.  Reporter cannot remove glasses due to FAA Physical requirements.
