The bridge of my nose is shaped weird apparently and it makes most glasses not fit very well, they tend to slide down all the time. I've gone to different places and perplexed the people there trying to help me find something that fit properly. They said everything sits too far off my face. I dunno what to do but push my glasses up. I basically cant buy any of the cheap online options though because they never fit.

I have a similar problem. I measure glasses that do fit and buy ones with the same dimensions using the search tool on Goggles4U. Sometimes they still don’t fit but are good emergency pair. I also heavily bend the part that goes behind the ear so they look more like an L than a hockey stick or straight line (like glasses meant for headphones/aviation).

You're not East Asian by any chance, are you? Our noses are slightly different from Caucasian noses. If you are, try finding "Asian fit" frames.

I've had the same problem any time I get glasses that don't have nose pads (i.e. the frame just sticks out a bit to touch the nose, rather than there being two plastic pads attached to the frame). But I found that you can buy stick-on silicone nose pads from Amazon, and these work perfectly for me. They're these little D shaped silicone pads that are sticky on one side, and maybe 1.5mm thick. You stick them onto your glasses frame and 1.) they help the frame grip your nose bridge, because they're silicone and therefore grippy, and 2.) they space the glasses a little further from your face. You have to replace them every month or two since the adhesive gives out, but they're pretty cheap and definitely worth the hassle.

Cheap ($10): https://www.amazon.com/GMS-Optical-Comfortable-Silicone-Anti-slip/dp/B00DUWLIEM/ https://www.amazon.com/GMS-Optical-Comfortable-Silicone-Anti... Expensive (several $100): This company does a 3D scan of your facial structure, then your local provider designs a frame according to your anatomy and style/material/color preference. The frame design is then custom made, not 3D printed, https://3dna-eyewear.org https://3dna-eyewear.org

  I wouldn't mind shelling out for the 3D scan if the product is good. Unfortunately I'm having trouble finding anything out about the company like reviews or pricing. Their website is very sparse as well.
