To avoid the problem you could store optics on a shelf covered with a cloth in an air conditioned part of the house (or heated part of the house in cooler climates) or you can store eyepieces in a sealed container with dessicant to remove moisture.

I store all my eyepieces in a craftright airtight case from bunnings with a rechargeable dessicant pack.
Forgot to mention the desiccant packs!
