If you run with eye/sunglasses....

... how do you manage to keep them up (not falling down) while running/sweating?

I cannot wear contacts due to an ulcer in my eye (long story), so I have resorted back to my sunglasses. I have pretty bad eyesight and definitely need to wear my glasses while running. I have a pair of regular eyeglasses, as well as a pair of Rx sunglasses (which are large and not meant for sports).

Is there anything I can do/buy to hold my glasses from continuing to fal down my face via the sweat?

I have a pair of cheap sunglasses that I bought at Dick's that I wear for running. They are more fitted (sporty?) and I haven't had an issue with them falling down. What kind of sunglasses are you wearing?

My running sunglasses have rubber nose grippy things. If I have to wear my reg glasses while I run, I wear a headband, or hat and that usually keeps them in place - not perfectly, but okay.

I have prescription sports sunglasses. They fit very snugly to my face so they don't slip.

I have cheapies that fit my face very well and don't move until I get embarrassingly sweaty. It doesn't happen often but the last time it happened on a run, I was very close to throwing them into the river!

I know when I was little and stuck in glasses for gym class, they made foam band things that attached to the back stems of your glasses and wrapped around your head to keep glasses on. I hated them, though, they seemed super 1980s, and i have no idea if they still make them. Or if that's an avenue you are desperate enough to consider!! If you find a solution, please post!

Ditto. I just got some cheapy Ironman sunglasses from Target, but you should look into Rx sport sunglasses. It will make a world of difference!

I have had some eye issues lately and have been running in my glasses. I had them tighten them a little at my eye doctors which helped, and bought some bondi bands to keep the sweat out of my eyes. Not a perfect fix, but it made a huge difference. If I'm going to be running in them more long term, I will definitely be getting some prescription sports sunglasses.

My sunglasses are more for fashion (Chanel)- definitely too large to run in, and they are heavy since my Rx is so bad.

I take my glasses into the store and have them bend the ear pieces a little more. It keeps them 'curled' around my ear a little bit and prevents them from falling down my face.

I used to run in more fashion type sunglasses, but had the same issues. Since I've switched to ones with rubber grips on them, I haven't had that issue.

i sometimes have to run in my glasses.

my glasses have the nose grip things and i know you can buy different nose grips from your eye doctor. ask them if they have a more grippy/sticky kind you can buy. my glasses haven't given me any trouble and i wear silhouettes sp?

You can order some Rx sport sunglasses from www.zennioptical.com for about $40 shipped. You won't regret it.

I use sunglasses that are sports specific, I know they can be made into prescription if I ever needed them. Plus they look cool when I'm running!
