[#6362334]

I've recently had to start wearing my prescription glasses full time. When I'm riding rough trails they slip down my nose a little, I end up looking at the frame or the smudgy bit at the top of the lens, it's very sub-optimal and I end up taking my hands off the bars to push them back, a lot.

Any tips for this from glasses wearers? Thanks.

My mate modded his glasses with a blob of clear silicone on the ear bits to stop them migrating forward.. seemed to work.

I couldn't wear contacts for a while so I just put some medical tape on my glasses to stop them slipping about (the salmon coloured rough type, not the slippy white type) Just a small bit on either side of the bridge and behind the ears. Made a massive difference.

What kind of clear silicone - bathroom sealant type stuff?

Yep. Standard clear stuff.
Also, Sugru, as suggested above, is a great idea, too!
