Medical Forum / General / Vision / August 2005How to keep these glasses from flying off my face!
I have a pair of glasses that normally fit snugly enough, but once they get a little sweat on them during sports I can't keep them on my face. I'd rather not use a band that attaches to the earpieces and wraps around the head. The ideal would be earpieces that curl around the ear, but I don't know if it's practical to replace the current earpieces. Does anyone make an accessory that would help? TIA Earband would be my choice. I'd probably also get a pair of sports goggles made to my Rx, as they provide a better field of view and fit more securely. >I have a pair of glasses that normally fit snugly enough, but once they get >a little sweat on them during sports I can't keep them on my face.

TIA +++++++++++++ Reply to the list as I do not publish an email address to USENET. This practice has cut my spam by more than 95%. Of course, I did have to abandon a perfectly good email account... I know some people who've used an accessory that you slip (or wrestle) onto each "leg" (or whatever you call them) of your glasses so that the curved rubber-ish accessory will curve around your ears so the glasses won't fall off. It's an accessory, so you can take it out when you don't need it. (I know someone who used the accessory with his glasses for kayaking, and well, he still had his glasses after that.) The only problem is that I have absolutely no idea where to get the accessory. But it IS available. >I know some people who've used an accessory that you slip (or wrestle) > onto each "leg" (or whatever you call them) of your glasses so that the [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > The only problem is that I have absolutely no idea where to get the > accessory. But it IS available. Thanks, that sounds like what I'm looking for. Now, if someone can point me at a source I'll be styling <g>. I need to find something similar for my son's glasses. These look interesting, are cheap, and might work for you: http://www.wedgees.com/ I don't think they'll work for my son, though, as he also wears hearing aids. If anyone finds the slip-on flexible cabe temples, please post to this group. I've been searching all morning! Thanks, Beverly > I need to find something similar for my son's glasses.

I've been searching all morning! Thanks, Beverly These look perfect. Thanks for the link. Here are two more that might work for you. The croakies are more expensive but you might be able to find them locally and save on shipping. I ordered the ones from Walter Drake. http://www.wdrake.com/product_detail.aspx?item_no=1018458 http://www.croakies.com/eyewearretainers/eyewearsport/reax/ Beverly > Here are two more that might work for you.

The Croakie REAX product looks really good. If the Wedgees don't work out the Croakies are next <g>. |
