You gotta grandma that shit up and get the little grippers that go on the arms of the glasses behind your ears. I'm telling you it's game changing. They're basically goggles because they no longer yeet themselves off your face. If only there was a solution to them fogging up with masks. I've tried so many things that go in or over masks and they never work. Absolute rage point for me I can't stand it. I switch to contacts for masks now so I can retain my sanity.
The problem is that I am a very sweaty, oily person by nature.
The interaction between this and the glasses is that the oils get into those little nose pad thingies and eventually into my eyes, causing immense eye irritation. The only way to avoid it is to take a break every hour to wash face and glasses lest my eyes turn read and teary.
Generally annoying, doubly so given how ADHD I am and my tendency to either hyperfocus and forget about it entirely until I straight up can't see, or to move off a task only to find myself unable to start it again.
And right now I can afford to only wear my glasses if I'm like. Doing a lot of reading with really tiny text or if I'm driving (which I rarely do because I'm fortunate enough to work from home and live at a place where most services are accessible by foot) – But my eyesight has a tendency to worsen as I age, and I have no idea how I'll cope once it gets so bad I need them all the time.
Ah yeah I hear that. Just FYI a lot of people with "oily" skin actually have very dry skin that's producing extra oil to compensate. Happened to me I was told my skin was oily my whole life until a few years ago. Against everything I believed I tried some moisturizer at the suggestion of someone on reddit and it was like getting new skin over the course of a couple weeks. HUGE difference. Same thing for my scalp. Shampoo etc for oily hair wasn't working because my scalp wasn't oily. It was making it more dry and making the oil problem worse lmao. Just throwing that out there because it was a real game changer for me. Nowadays it's super rare for me to get that terrible burning in my eyeballs from my stupid face oil.
I do recommend anyone reading this to get face moisturizer specifically. Especially if you don't like the feel of lotion because it's usually a lot less greasy and rubs in better. Get some cheap stuff and give it a shot you never know.
Edit to also mention that I stopped suffering from pretty bad face face acne, which I'd suffered from for decades, with this change too.

Ah, that was never my problem with glasses.

Well I'll be thrice-damned.
Worth a try I guess.
