Brief Answer:
If you have a well-fitting mask dear its not necessary
Detailed Answer:
Hey, thanks for the question.
If you have a well-fitting mask then it's not necessary. The doctor would need to use a slit lamp and other equipment in ophthalmology where he/ she can have a lot of fog.
If you wear spectacles though and want to prevent fogging of your glasses you may use the tape.
Hope my answer helps you.
