Slipping glasses

[Sukh]

You need to glue the end of a match to your nose to act like a door stop, but for glasses.

It's six of one and half a dozen of the other, The nosepads are great for adhesion and easy to modify for someone with a boxers nose (good old school days, me=geek them=bullies) but if you have oily skin they soon collect up the detritus.. yuck.
On the other hand padless glasses are much better looking yet they are terrible for customisation to your needs.

Superglue them to your nose.

I have glasses similar to them and I have to push em up a lot it's funny because when I'm not wearing my glasses I still push up against my nose even tho I'm not wearing any glasses it's just habit now.

Acrylic frames like that always slip for me. I think between the smoother nose rest, and the weight of the acrylic frames, it's bound to happen. Clamp the arms to you head better, it's the only way.

But then you will get the DREADED HEAD DENTS

Get better eyes. I have found my glasses don't slip as I don't wear any.

Yeah stop bobbing your head up and down so much ¬_¬

Well, if you are going to keep offering it up, who am I to say no?

I have similar glasses, and find if I don't wash my face for more than 24 hours the grease build up allows them to slide down - either have a shower/bath or just use some face wash/soap on your nose, and anywhere else skin contact is made. Wash the glasses with soap as well. Works for me.

I wash at least every 24 hours, so I'm probably OK there :\

Are they new? If so go back to the opticians and get them fitted properly.

They are - have had them a week. I've been abroad so haven't been able to go back.

Contact lenses. Dodge the problem entirely.

I have contact lenses as well, but I find I don't like wearing any visual correction while using a PC. I like having a pair of glasses that I can take on and off during the day at work.

You need to bring the arms in from the bridge, and also you need to adjust the angle of bend at the tip of the arms. It's bad practise to adjust the frames from the hinge on plastic frames, however, tightening the screws will also be of some benefit. Generally a good opticians will do this free of charge. Naturally whilst you're waiting they'll try to sell you something.

Tilbury is not too far from Lakeside. If you pop into Optical Express (larger store) or Vision Express, they will be able to do it.

What you can do at home: wash your face regularly if you suffer from oily skin. Clean your glasses with an anti-static cleaning spray. This will increase friction and stop slippage.

Ja I was at Lakeside tonight and dropped in to Vision Express (where I bought them from). He warmed them up and flexed the bridge in a bit. It seemed to help when I tested them, but they are actually still slipping.

If you would stop shooting in to them I'd probably be able to see better.

There's more than enough for two.

 

[Kutter]

Optigrab is what you need.

 

[ThomasTheTankEngine]

Instead of wearing glasses, it's much simpler to just get the outline of them tattooed onto your face.

SoliD's right - I don't have that car anymore.
