My work pair is pretty good because they generally stay on my nose.

You could string them around your neck, like library matrons.

A better solution might be contacts. I wear ONE contact (+2.5). I can
read or work the computer (with one eye) and drive with two eyes. The
single contact doesn't interfere with distance depth perception,
although depth perception up close does suffer slightly.

I use AccuVue continuous wear lenses. Six cost about ~$30 at Sam's or
Costco and each one lasts about a month. It therefore costs about
$60/year not to have to fuss with glasses.

I guess you could experiment by breaking out one of the lenses on your
existing glasses and wearing the result for a few hours to get used
to the difference.

I agree that if you can wear contacts they're the way to go. For some
reason though I have a reaction to them--I can wear them for a couple of
weeks then something changes in my eyelids and they start sticking like
crazy, and that's so even for single-use disposables so it's not my
cleaning.
