Sensory issues and wearing glasses

AuTriker

My eyes are not what they were, so I have to use reading glasses. But I hate the feel of them on my face. I wear them upside down so they touch less of my face! And I stick the eat part into my hair rather then have them on top of my ears. I do not care if it looks odd. But it is still not an ideal solution.

I wondered if anyone knew of any frames which are better for sensory issues?

Contact lenses are NOT an option! Quite apart from that I don't need them all the time, putting things in my eyes is a big fat no.

  • I have rimless glasses with the temples and bridge being only wire-thickness and made of titanium, so they are still strong. I also have the rimless lenses made entirely circular, which also cuts down on weight. They are ideal for me as any weight around the bridge of my nose tends to cause headaches, Only trouble is that they are eye-wateringly expensive.

    Thanks for replying. I was hoping for something a bit more of a radically different solution, but I don't know what. Hands free lorgnettes? Yours, smart though they are, still have nose pads and sit on the ears... I suppose one is limited by human anatomy! Noses and ears seem such obvious places to hang glasses off.
