Troubles with eyeglasses

[Mrs Badcrumble]

I'm a new nurse, but not a young one. I need glasses for distance and reading, IV's, etc. When I was in school I had a bit of trouble with juggling reading glasses and my distance spectacles. Tried contacts in the past, but just do better with specs. I'd very much appreciate hearing how you all deal with this kind of problem. I'm thinkin' I may try progressive lenses (when I get a job and can afford new glasses!). How do you keep glasses from tumbling out of pockets, comments on progressive lenses, that kind of thing. Oh, and I've posted this in the ER section because that's my unit of choice and it's got its own flavor of challenges for those of us with wonky eye sight. Cheers!

How do you keep glasses from sliding off when you are doing intensive procedures, like CPR for instance.

My glasses fit my head really well, and if they start getting loose I go and have them tightened. I don't really have a problem with them sliding too much.
