Title: How can I stop my glasses from slipping down my nose?
Question: I am currently using these glasses:   They slip a bit down my nose when I move suddenly or when I look at the ground. I have to re-adjust them and that's a bit inconvenient.  Is there anything I can do to prevent them from slipping down my nose?   P.S. I am aware of  this question  but my glasses have fixed nosepieces and that's why I'm asking this as a separate question.

Summary of the answers:
There are many different ways to stop your glasses falling down your nose, but you could consider using ear hooks, a ponytail holder or glasses wax. You might also try applying some anti-perspirant to the bridge of your nose or as your optician for a tigher fit. You could also lightly bend the arms so that they fit tightly behind your ears. Alternatively, you could learn to pull your glassses up with your ears!
The options are to use ponytail holders, ear hooks, nerd wax or original glasses wax, learn how to pull up glasses using your ears, adjuts your glasses to fit more tightly, use wedgees, get a lighter pair of glasses, apply post-it notes or antiperspirant to the glasses, ask an optician to adjust the fit or get some lighter glasses.
