I have some glasses that fall off my face a little bit and was wondering what y'all would recommend as to keep them in place. I was thinking of some sort of rubber product to give them more grip. They are a lightweight ray ban frame that are not adjustable since they don't have a wire inside the ear pieces. I also thought maybe heatshrink or something like that? I saw some stick on nose pieces that I might try, but was wondering mainly if there's a rubber option for the ear pieces like I mentioned? TIA

I've worn glasses for 30 years.  Contact lenses are the only thing I've found that keep glasses from slipping and sliding.

Felt this was a perfect setup for the jerk...looks like everyone else thought the same thing.

Is your face oily? Maybe you should wash it... Most likely, you don't have good fitting glasses.

Your temples are probably too long and need adjusting, take your glasses back to the optometrist and have them adjusted so they keep your glasses from sliding down.

I can't adjust them because there isn't a wire inside the frame to adjust. They're a super lightweight material

Probably adjustable, OP is thinking old school frames.  Hot water and bend into shape. Let cool and enjoy new fit. Just a WAG.
Have you checked RayBans website?

I have a very oily nose, and what I use is those little felt circles from the furniture aisle. Face grease is like the solvent from hell, though, so I stick em to the nose pads with superglue, and they stay on for about two weeks. Less is hot weather.

Depends.
The usual way would be to adjust the ear sections on the arms of your glasses so the ears keep the glasses back. You can put nose pads on the nose pieces.
Or, if you are doing active stuff, you can try eyeglass holders, like croakies.

You don't need wire in the frames to adjust them.

They're made of plastic.  The optometrist will use heat to bend them to fit your head.

I always keep a fee of these on hand so when I’m on my yearly drunken dude camping trip with my buddies, I don’t had to swim to the bottom of the lake to find my glasses like I’d dod the first few years we went.

Used to have this problem too OP.

Only real solution is better fitting glasses.

I recently got a pair of nice Oakley eyeglasses, Crosslink Zeros.

I no longer have this problem because they grab your face/head in multiple places to prevent movement.

In my experience, glasses that have the nose contact points molded into the plastic frame slide much more than glasses that have the rubber pads on metal (bendable) stems for contacting the nose.
