   My glasses are smooth plastic. They slide down my nose cause humans are smooth and oily. (Fuck I hate being a human)
   My bestie had grippy tape for the stairs, basically corse sandpaper with adhesive.
   I just cut a couple nose pads shaped bits from the grippy stair tape and applied them to the bridge of my glasses.
   I'm a fucking genius!

     Are they comfy? So far, the only discomfort while wearing is I need to do a better job cutting them symmetrical. (I'd ask Sarah. She had steady hands and decent fine motor control. 🥺)
     Aside from that, they irritate ever so slightly when taking them off or putting them on, and that slight irritation stops as soon as I stop moving them. Since I generally don't move my glasses around much, aside from correcting the very slippage this solves, it's a non-issue... so far. Further testing is required.

     How do they look? My glasses frames are black, the tape is black and pretty thin. As long as it's cut slightly smaller than the part of my glasses that rests on the bridge of my nose, it shouldn't visible. 😁
     Especially when I magnet on the decorative "toppers".

     *does that thing that sometimes happens where I accidentally poke myself in the eyes with my glasses when putting them on*

     There we go, double blind.
