Duct tape? :P

For me, wearing glasses is not optional, if I want to see where I'm going, what I'm doing, etc. It sounds like you don't really need your glasses all the time? Have you tried putting them on a pretty nice necklace around your neck so you don't have to set them down when you do take them off?

Hi there. This is Alex, the group's lurking optician. Your complaint is a common one in my business. First thing to consider is your lenses. How high is your RX? Even if it's not terribly high, invest in the thinnest hi index lenses you can get. At the very least, request polycarb or (better yet) trivex as these are light weight materials also, in addition to being very safe. Secondly, if your RX will permit, go for a drill mount frame, prefferably one of the titanium ones made by Marchon or Silhouette. These frames consist of three pieces, the temples (the part that goes over your ears) and the bridge (the bit over the nose)and the point connect to your lenses by being drilled through the lens itself and is held secure by plastic bushings. This is a much sturdier arrangement than it sounds like. Get the SMALLEST lenses that you can, especially if you are a myope (near sighted) as this wil also decrease weight. Lastly, request silicone nose pads instead of hard plastic ones. These are softer and a bit "sticky" which helps them stay in place as well as being more comfortable. At the very least, choose thin lenses and a light weight metal frame and stay away from the plastic frames. While cute and all the rage right now, fit can be an issue and they tend to slide if you get warm at all and since that sort of thing bugs you, stay away from them. Hope that helped!

I can relate... So I bought several pairs of cheap glasses trying plastic, and metal frames. One pair may be heavier, or larger than the others. Eventually you'll find a frame style, and composition that is the least intrusive on your face. Keep trying, and make it fun.
