    Sorry to revive this thread from almost 8 years ago, but things have changed a lot in this last decade. Slipping glasses aren't a problem anymore.
    Now it can prevented through the use of a small rubber attachment to the eyeglass temples called eyeglass retainers. Here is a photo:

    Anyway, more information about them can be found in this blog post:

    You should try to sell this product to the onliner opticals as they have no personal and physical contact with the patient/consumer. Any decently trained optician of which there are plenty around, is able to adjust and bend the temple tips to the curve of the ear for a comfortable and no slip fit.

    Anyone remember the Broker where many temple styles as well as many temple weights were available to off-set lens weights?
